Here’s a scrumptious meal that may be ready in a brief period of time and (though wealthy) may be very wholesome. The basic Lebanese Kafta is formed into meatballs, shortly pan-fried and smothered in a tahini sauce (aka tarator in Lebanon) and served with a conventional rice pilaf made with toasted vermicelli and long-grain rice.
I just lately found a wonderful new Knorr Halal Beef Flavored Seasoning and Knorr Halal Hen Flavored Seasoning. The seasoning incorporates a medley of spices giving the meals refined and umami taste in a single swoop. I used it for each the meatballs and the rice pilaf with nice outcomes. KNORR additionally makes recipe concepts (together with mine) accessible on-line by their website.
