Lebanese Food Recipes

Serves 6:

• 1 lb. meat
• 5 hard boiled eggs
• 1/2 cup crushed toasted bread crumbs
• 1 cup butter
• 1 onion, small
• 1 egg, beaten
• add salt and pepper to taste

Put the meat through a meat grinder twice, then follow with the onion grinding them once only.  Knead the meat with the onion and seasoning.  Divide the meat into equal amounts.  Wet the hands with water or a little oil and flatten each amount of the meat between the hands.  Place the bolied egg in the middle of the flattened meat and cover it completely with the meat.  Continue the procedure until all eggs are used.  Dip the meat-egg balls in the beaten egg, then in the crushed bread crumbs.  Brown the meat egg balls in the butter and serve whole or out in half.  Garnish with tomato slices or rings.
