Minced rice and meat patties recipe (kubba)
- Cuisine: Iraqi
Ingredients
300g lamb mince
1 onion, finely diced
2 tbspns parsely, finely chopped
1 tbspn sultanas
2 tspns peas
1 tspn cumin
1 tspn turmeric
1 tspn ground Basra (black) limes
2 cups rice
2 saffron strands
handful fine breadcrumbs
Oil for frying
Preparation
First make a mince stuffing by frying lamb mince with onion. When the meat is cooked, add parsley, sultanas and peas, and spice with cumin and turmeric and a little ground lime powder. Once the cooking liquids have disappeared, season to taste. The mixture must be quite dry and fragrant.
Cook long-grain rice (preferably basmati) with saffron or turmeric until well done. Mash with a handful or two of breadcrumbs to achieve a soft paste. With a palmful of rice mixture, form a flat disc, place a teaspoon or two of meat mixture in the centre and fold the rice paste over it (Amera makes small saucer shapes and oval, mini-torpedo shapes). Deep fry in vegetable or olive oil until golden.

Hot Tips
How to judge the heat of a chilli
Generally the smaller the chilli the hotter the heat. By removing seeds and flesh this you will decrease the heat of the chilli. Wash your hands thoroughly after coming in contact with chilli, as the capsicin (the oil within the chilli) burns when it comes in contact with your eyes or sensitive skin.
