Lebanese Cooking

Last week, Josh's mum, Lisa (3/4T) came in to make Tabbouleh and Kafta on skewers. Here are the recipes:

Tabbouleh

1/4 cup (40g) fine burghul (wash, drain and leave to stand for 30 mins)
5 cups chopped flat-leaf parsley, rinsed and drained
5 tomatoes, finely chopped
8 spring onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup finely chopped mint
150ml lemon juice
150ml olive oil
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Mix all the ingredients together


Kafta

1 large onion, finely chopped
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 kg finely minced lean lamb
2 cups finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

Mix ingredients together and then shape into sausage shapes. Cook on a hot barbeque or pan on all sides for about 4 - 5 minutes



The children then ate the kafta, tabbouleh in some flat bread with hummus. Very tasty!!
