Steps
1 Done | First, soak the chickpeas overnight in freshwater. Place the lamb brisket and one onion in a pan and fill it with water, put on fire. Add chickpeas to the brisket and cook for 1.5 hours under a lid over low heat. We constantly remove the foam so that the broth is clean and transparent. At the end of cooking, salt everything, take out the onions and filter the broth through a sieve. During the cooking of the broth, pour saffron with boiling water and leave to stand by the warm stove. Soak the rice for an hour. |
2 Done | Thoroughly rinse the lamb and the chicken, dry it (you can use a clean kitchen towel) and pass through a meat grinder with one onion. Next, add minced meat, pepper, add turmeric and rice. Mix everything, beat the minced meat well on the table so that the air comes out and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. |
3 Done | We make balls of minced meat, approximately 200 g each so that the minced meat does not stick, we wet our hands in warm water. We cut plums or cherry plum into small pieces. In each meatball, we make a depression with a finger and fill it with chopped plum or cherry plum. The filling should be well covered. |
