In my husband’s family, Potato Kibbeh needs no introduction. I mean, can you get any better than spiced meat sandwiched between layers of silky potato? It is like the Middle Eastern version of Shepard’s Pie. What makes it taste Middle Eastern you ask? The spices! […]
This dish takes the tomato sauce base found in many Middle Eastern dishes to the next level by adding potatoes, spices, and small meatballs. And, of course, it is eaten with rice. The is another dish in our “Medley of Marakah” series.
You may wonder what Ras Asfour means. In Arabic it means “bird’s head.” Not literally bird’s heads, but the small spiced meatballs is thought to resemble the “head of a bird.” For that matter, every meatball dish out there should be called Ras Asfour, no? Any takers?!?!
Ras Asfour’s tomato sauce infused with cardamom elevates the dish. It is a simple recipe yet packed with flavor. There are different variations of this dish, but we provide what we know and love best, our Mom’s and Nana Badriya’s recipe. It is an easy recipe to make for a weeknight meal and can also be prepped in advance. Give this interesting “bird’s head” dish a try for you next home-cooked weeknight dinner!
