Ground Meat Dishes That Stir Up Emotions
In the Middle East, the artistry involved in preparing ground meat dishes depends not only on the butcher’s experience and skill, but also on the creativity of the homemaker.
It's all about knowing the animal's anatomy and the ratio of fat to meat. Some people keep their recipes a secret and spin fairy-tale-like stories around them.
One thing is certain, though: It’s all about the spice blend. Especially when it comes to dishes made with ground meat, there are countless recipes around the world that we all love.
In September, we celebrate ground lamb and its many varieties
There are four dishes from Syrian home cooking to choose from:
- Lamb meatballs in a yogurt-mint sauce. Assorted vegetables, basmati rice sautéed in ghee.
- Lamb meatballs in a spicy tomato sauce, sugar snap peas, and cinnamon-allspice rice.
- Aleppo-style lamb kebab, toasted pita with harissa, smoked eggplant mousse, Middle Eastern salad with pomegranate seeds.
- Deluxe Lamb Patties with Pistachios and Pine Nuts, Potato Patties, and Tahini and Harissa Sauce.
We look forward to welcoming you.
