Shishbarak is a traditional Middle Eastern dish that consists of small dumplings made of dough, filled with seasoned minced meat, and served in a savory broth. The dish is popular in countries such as Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, and is typically served during special occasions such as weddings and Ramadan.
To make Shishbarak, the dough is usually made with flour, water, and salt, and is rolled out into thin sheets. The sheets are then cut into small circles using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass. The filling for the dumplings is typically made by combining minced lamb or beef with onions, parsley, and spices such as cinnamon, allspice, and nutmeg.
The filling is placed in the center of each dough circle, and the edges are pinched together to form a small dumpling. The dumplings are then boiled in a flavorful broth made with lamb or beef bones, onions, garlic, and various spices, until they are tender and cooked through.
Shishbarak is typically served hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and a drizzle of lemon juice. It is often accompanied by a side of plain yogurt, which helps to balance out the richness of the meat and broth.
