Safiha -(arabic Food)
General Info: (Meat Pies)
These meat pies originate in: Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq.
Sufficient for:30 pies
Ingredients:
1/2 quantity of Khoubiz dough recipe*
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 # pound of fresh, coarsely ground lamb
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
salt to taste
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
extra vegetable oil
Let's start:
Prepare the Khoubiz dough. Set aside to rise 1 1/2 hours (this should become double in size)
Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy large skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground lamb and stir and cook until the meat is crumbly and it is no longer pink. Stir in the chopped onion and cook, stirring until the onion is soft , about 5 minutes. Stir in the pine nuts and all of the spices and seasonings. Stir and cook for one minute. Add the chopped tomatoes. Cover the skillet , reduce the heat to low and cook for 10-15 minutes until the tomato is soft. Remove from heat. Stir in the fresh lemon juice. The mixture should not be watery but it should be moist. Set aside to cool.
Punch down the dough and roll on a lightly floured pastry board till it is 1/4 inch thick. Cut 10 4 inch rounds. Continue to roll the trimmings into a ball, roll them out and cut into rounds also. Place the rounds on a cloth and cover with another cloth.
Take a round of dough and flute the edges with fingertips. Spread a heaping tablespoon of the meat/nut mixture and into the small pie shell you have formed. Place one inch apart on an oil baking sheet. Lightly brush the pies, including the meat and the crust with more oil.
Bake in a pre heated oven at 350 degrees 15 minutes or until the crust is golden.
Best way to eat: Serve hot out of the oven

It was this golden brown crunchy outside and it had some kind of mince & onion inside.

(ramadan) can you guys believe this?!?!?!?
http://nymag.com/listings/restaurant/balaboosta/
^^this Israeli-owned restaurant get FIVE stars for selling "exquisite" FALAFEL and HUMMUS!
they even take the poor Palestinian's meager food! (falafel and hummus are filling,and that is why the lower class eats them...)
and yet here is this fancy shmancy 5 star resteraunt acting like it's caviar!
and wait,they have olive oil and Za'tar and all sorts of other ARABIC dishes!
you know the world record for the largest plate of hummus was by a bunch of ISRAELIS,until a bunch of lebanese people broke the record...
i know,im being stupid,but come ON,they even take the Palestinian's only FOOD?
wait, " and the falafel will appear not stuffed in pita but as a crust around herb- infused grass-fed meatballs on a stick"
was prissy people!
lol,im being so stupid,but come on,if a Palestinian was to have a resteraunt that sells falafel and hummus and other arabic foods(*cough* my dad *cough),they wouldn't get such a high rating!
ANYway,what is your favorite food from your culture?(and what is Biryani?everyone here talks about it,what is it?)
@Cody:firstly,im not a hijabi (but i wish i was),and you'd be LUCKY if a hijabi was willing to talk to you!
in your DREAMS,fool!
Somber:they're the only people on the planet without a country of their own!
they have no other place to go!
the border to Egypt is closed thanks to Hosney Embarack Obama!
they are constantly on curfew (and not like a spoiled teen'a driving curfew,a curfew that you cannot leave your home under any circumstances or you are shot)
