Arabian cuisine
It's no secret that Arabic cuisine is considered one of the best. The great chefs of the past time came up with excellent meat dishes, which, in fact, brought such success to the region. Nowadays, you can see an exclusive recipe book by Vusla il Ihabid, which is filled with interesting facts and tips for a novice cook. In Arabic cuisine, kebbe is considered one of the most popular dishes, the recipe of which is quite simple if you use a special nozzle made for an electric meat grinder.
What is a kebbe?
Many people like Arabic cuisine. It always contains meat (goat, lamb, veal, but not pork, as it is forbidden by the Koran to eat it). But not everyone knows what kebbe is. These are amazing fried meat balls. It is very simple to prepare such a dish, and it can be served both on a typical weekday and at the festive table.
It is worth noting that kebbe balls should be perfect. To achieve this result, you must use an electric meat grinder. Some machines come with a kebbe attachment. If such a detail is missing, and the chef loves the dish of Arabian cuisine, then it will not be difficult to purchase it separately.
How to cook kebbe?
Before cooking an Arabian dish, you need to buy or make yourself excellent minced meat. The advantage is given to veal, from which kebbe is made. Also, finely ground wheat is added to the minced meat, which helps the balls to keep a round (oval) shape. When everything is ready, the meat is fried in oil or fat. Some chefs cook an Arabic dish in the oven. To make the balls perfect, a special kebbe nozzle was developed - the main assistant in cooking.
So, let's begin. The following ingredients are required for Arab kebba: veal (500 g), lamb (150 g), onion (2 pcs), finely ground wheat (200 g), spices (salt, pepper, cinnamon optionally), pine nuts (50 g) and, of course, butter or mutton fat.
Cooking steps
Before cooking meat, soak wheat in warm water. It should stand for about 30 minutes, after which it must be wrung out well. Next, with the help of a meat grinder, you need to scroll the veal, gradually adding onions, spices, wheat. Then the mince should be mixed well. It is important that it is not dry or, conversely, does not creep. Arab culinary experts advise adding water in the first case and wheat in the second. By the way, you can use rice or barley grits instead.
The second onion is necessary for frying in oil (fat). Add lamb to the pan and fry it together with the vegetable over high heat (after pouring a little water). After the liquid has evaporated, you can add nuts and hold everything together for no more than three minutes.
At this stage, a special meat grinder is used, the main element of which is the kebbe attachment. With its help, the stuffing gets an oval shape. Finished circles begin with lamb with nuts, and the edges are neatly blotted. The last step is to fry the kebbe in fat (oil) until cooked. Arab chefs recommend serving a dish with herbs or finely chopped vegetables.
There are also other recipes for Arabic dishes. Lebanese kebbe is considered one of the most popular. A distinctive feature of this dish is ground beef.
Kebbe Ball Attachment
Buying an electric meat grinder, the culinary specialist sees that the kebbe attachment is in the kit. What is this, people do not always understand, since not all of them are familiar with Arabic dishes. It should be noted that in some technology this element is missing, but this does not mean that it cannot be bought. The kebbe attachment is sold in many stores and is suitable for modern meat grinders. It was specially created for a traditional Arabic dish. With its help, you can cook meat balls quickly and they will look great. Each hostess will be proud of their culinary masterpiece, which is not a shame to give to friends and acquaintances.
Surprisingly, in order to make kebbe balls, already processed meat is used, that is, ready-made meat. After cooking the minced meat, a special nozzle is installed and a dish of Arabic cuisine is prepared: sausages begin and take on a specific shape. The main thing is not to forget to beautifully lay out the dish on a plate, prepare a side dish and call friends. Bon Appetit!
