Step by step

Method

The mixture should become tacky through kneading and chilling rather than excess flour. Seal the plum fully inside each ball. Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer so the koofteh stay intact.

  1. 01

    Knead meat, herbs, rice, onion, egg and walnuts for 6 minutes.

  2. 02

    Chill the mixture for 30 minutes.

  3. 03

    Divide into 8 portions and seal one plum inside each.

  4. 04

    Bring tomato sauce to a gentle simmer in a wide pot.

  5. 05

    Add koofteh with space between them and cook uncovered for 15 minutes.

  6. 06

    Partly cover and simmer gently for another 35 minutes.

Chef tips

  • Thorough kneading and chilling keep koofteh intact.
  • Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer; a hard boil breaks the koofteh.
