Инструкции
- Mix rice cereal with 1/3 c. cool water; let stand at least 5 min.
- Meanwhile, in a 5- to 6-qt nonstick pan, stir half the onion and 1 tsp. garlic over medium-high heat till limp, about 4 min. Stir in tomato paste, broth, and rice. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer till rice is tender to bite, 12 to 15 min.
- As rice cooks, mix beef with 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.
- Mix half the beef mix with one-fourth of the rice cereal mix, remaining onion and garlic, 1 Tbsp. mint, and parsley.
- In a food processor, whirl remaining beef mix and remaining rice cereal mix till it is a sticky paste.
- Shape each of the meat mixtures into 4 oval pcs. In your palm, flatten 1 piece of the beef paste till it's 1/4-inch thick. Lay a coarse-beef oval over the thin piece and fold paste around it, shaping into a 3-inch-long football.
- Repeat to create each meatball, and as shaped, drop into simmering broth.
- Simmer over low heat, covered, turning meatballs once, till no longer pink in center (cut to test), about 10 min.
- Add in lemon juice, remaining mint, and salt and pepper to taste. Ladle meatball soup into bowls.
- This recipe yields 4 servings.
- Comments: "I'm Armenian, but I was born in Israel and lived in Iraq," says Zov Karamardian of Zov's Bistro in Tustin, California. "When I was growing up, my mother made dumplings with meat inside which she cooked in nice broth. I love which dish (kouba hamoud). Every time my mother comes, I make her cook it."
