ARMENIAN KUFTA



Armenian Kufta image

This would be categorized as a 'stuffed' meatball! It's a recipe that cousin Debbie, sister Diane and I worked on this winter, trying to replicate our grandmother's kufta. It's been many many years since we've had this, and I think we have it down pretty well. It can be made as a side dish or a main dish soup, by adding pasta and vegetables to the broth when you add the meatballs.

Time 1h15m

Yield 20 meatballs, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs ground lamb or 1 1/2 lbs beef
2 cups cracked wheat, fine ground
1 small onion, minced
1 tablespoon parsley, minced
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 lb ground lamb or 1 lb beef
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 quarts broth, beef or 2 quarts chicken

Steps:

  • For the outside shell, mix 1-1/2 lbs. ground lamb, bulghur, onion, salt, pepper and parsley together with 1 cup of water. Knead until it becomes cohesive and dough like.
  • Set aside and brown 1 lb lamb with large chopped onion until meat is cooked. Add parsley, salt and pepper and cool.
  • In the meantime, roll outside shell mixture into balls the size of a small egg. Use a bowl of ice water to keep mixture from sticking to your hands. Shape into cups by inserting your thumb into ball and rotating in your opposite hand until you form a thin shell. Keep wetting your hands in the ice water to keep shell from cracking.
  • Fill shell with cooked meat mixture, about 1 tablespoon, close shell, wetting hands with ice water, and seal opening.
  • Set aside on a sheet pan, continue to roll balls. Place tray in refrigerator to chill.
  • Boil 2 quarts of broth, add pasta and vegetables. Add meatballs and cook them 10 minutes or until they rise to the top.
  • Sometimes served with yogurt on the side.

  • Start by making the gheyma. Heat the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. When melted add the ground beef, stirring and breaking up into small pieces. When the beef has started to brown but is not completely cooked yet, add the onions and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Continue to cook until the beef is well-browned and cooked through. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Stir in the parsley and remove from the heat. The gheyma can be made ahead and reheated as needed. It can also be frozen.
  • Fill a small bowl with some water to use to wet your hands as needed during the mixing and shaping process. In a large mixing bowl, soak the bulgur with the 1 ½ cups cold water for about 15 minutes until absorbed but still wet. Add the meat and mix thoroughly with your hands. Season with salt, paprika, and pepper and mix well. Mix in ¼ cup scallions and ¼ cup chopped parsley.
  • To shape the kofte, dip your hands in the water and grab a small handful of the mixture. Form it into a ball and then lightly begin to make a fist with your hand to make it a bit more oblong (but not completely flat) and leave finger imprints on one side. Place on a serving dish, dip your hands in water and repeat the process until all of the mixture has been used to form koftes. Garnish with the remaining green onions and parsley and serve with the gheyma, salad, and olive oil (if desired) on the side for topping.

  • Khorovats (Armenian barbecue) Khorvats is the most important and famous meat dishes in Armenia: it is made mainly out of pork. It is also made of lamb and beef.
  • Armenian Kufta. The next meat dish is Kufta. Earlier, the ancestors of Armenians cooked it like this: they chose the best pieces of beef meat and for a long, very long time they beat off a piece of meat on a stone with wooden hammers until the meat turned into a uniform creamy mass.
  • Armenian Dolma. Dolma is the heritage of the national Armenian cuisine and one of the most favourite dishes of Armenians. The composition of Armenian rolls – Dolma includes minced meat from lamb, onions, rice, greens and spices.
  • Khash. Khash is a hot, very nourishing and fatty soup made out of beef legs. This soup is cooked for a very long time: it is put on the fire in the evening so that it will be ready the next morning.
  • Tjvjik. Tjvjik is a dish made out of half-roasted beef parts – heart, lungs, liver – with onions, tomato paste or tomatoes and spices. The name tjvjik is quite difficult to pronounce and it is translated as Fried Liver.
  • Armenian yoghurt Matsun. Armenians are very fond of milk products. One cannot imagine a feast without Armenian cheese and Matsun. If everything is clear with cheese, then guests and tourists have questions with Armenian yoghurt Matsun.
  • Armenian Soup. Armenian bell – a fragrant soup with tomato paste and lamb meatballs. It turns out very fragrant, with a unique taste!
  • Armenian Harissa. Harissa is a traditional Armenian dish. This dish is prepared with chicken and mushrooms for a long time, to eat it with great pleasure.
  • Matnakash Bread. Matnakash is the national bread that can be found in all stores. “Matnakash” literally translates as “finger draw” or “finger pull” since before baking a cake, patterns are made on its surface by drawing with the index finger.
  • Lavash. Well, what can I say? Everyone knows about Armenian lavash, since it spread throughout the world along with the Armenians. Lavash bread is very easy to bake, but far from everyone gets a bake easily, correctly and tasty.
