Kefta Bi Siniyeh is a popular Lebanese dish that consists of spiced ground beef or lamb kefta meatballs baked in a tomato sauce, topped with potatoes and served with a side of rice or bread.
To make Kefta Bi Siniyeh, the kefta is usually made by combining ground beef or lamb with finely chopped onions, parsley, and a blend of spices such as cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg. The mixture is then shaped into small meatballs and browned in a pan before being added to a tomato-based sauce.
The sauce is typically made by cooking down diced tomatoes with onions, garlic, and a variety of spices such as cumin and paprika. Once the sauce has thickened, the meatballs are arranged on top and sliced potatoes are layered over the meatballs. The dish is then baked in the oven until the potatoes are crispy and the meatballs are fully cooked through.
Kefta Bi Siniyeh is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a comforting family dinner or for sharing with friends at a casual gathering.
