I was looking through the massive amount of cooking footage I still have on the computer and discovered a gem. While our second child was still a baby and not a toddler I made Meatballs in tomato sauce كفتة بالدمعة Kofta bil dema-a.
I have always enjoyed eating good tasting meatballs and Kofta كفتة is basically an Egyptian meatball. Kofta can be made so many different ways and it can be fried, or barbecued or cooked in a tomato based sauce and left to simmer away absorbing flavours on the stove (or this can be done in a slow cooker).
The key, as with any type of meatball, is to make sure they are browned first as this seals the meatballs and stops them from falling apart in the cooking process.
When I went back and watched the footage I got to reminisce and enjoy those memories from when the kids where so little. I think this must be one of my favourites, if not my favourite video. Take a look and let me know what you think...oh, and the food too!
We always had Meatballs in tomato sauce كفتة بالدمعة Kofta bil dema-a with rice but I know that many people eat meatballs with pasta. These could easily be eaten served over pasta if you like. But at home it was rice. I love the rice soaking up the sauce and I often used to mush up the meatballs and stir it all together through the rice. I do that for the kids and they love it.
As with most things feta cheese, olive and a green salad at the table and it is a complete meal.
Love to have your feedback so let me know how you go making this.
