LEBANESE LAMB MEATBALL AND RICE SOUP
I don't know what the real name for this soup is, it was passed on to me by my mother who learned it from my Lebanese grandfather on my dad's side. It is made with Kafta; we used to purchase it at a Lebanese store, but here is a recipe to make your own: Kafta (Meatball Shish Kabobs) Recipe #238833. For the clarified butter you may use your own, but this how I make it-- Rendered/Clarified Butter (Samneh) Middle East, Palestine Recipe #322377. The soup is rich and fulfilling.

LEBANESE LAMB AND RICE
I got this recipe from a Jordanian friend of mine. The rice mixture(without the lamb and after it has been cooked) can also be stuffed into baking hens before baking. It's delicious served with Pita bread, hummus and Mediteranian olives.

- NOTE: This can be used with lamb that is cut up in bite size pieces also.

An everyday ingredient, ground lamb, is transformed into a tasty Middle Eastern dish in this simple but effective recipe. Very nice in pita bread with hummus.
