Summary of How To Make Persian Koofteh Tabrizi

In the video "How To Make Persian Koofteh Tabrizi," the host, Tom Henry, provides a step-by-step guide on preparing this traditional Persian dish. The process begins with cooking yellow split peas in water until tender. Simultaneously, rice and bulgur are cooked until mostly absorbed.

Once the split peas and rice are ready, they are combined in a food processor with a chopped onion to create a mixture. This mixture is then combined with minced lamb (or beef) and seasoned with various spices, including turmeric, saffron, and black pepper. The mixture is refrigerated for a couple of hours to enhance the flavors.

While waiting, the host prepares the filling, which consists of chopped dried apricots, walnuts, cranberries, and hard-boiled eggs. A sauce is made by sautéing sliced onions and adding spices and tomato paste, followed by water and saffron.

The meat mixture is shaped into balls, filled with the prepared filling, and placed in the sauce. The dish is simmered for about an hour until cooked through. The final presentation includes serving the koofteh with sauce and garnishing with fresh mint.

Tom emphasizes the flexibility of the recipe, allowing for variations in the filling ingredients. He encourages viewers to like, share, and subscribe for more content.
