Instructions

  1. Rinse the split peas in a large bowl, and fill it with warm water until the surface of the peas is covered. Allow them to soak for 30 minutes. Do the same for the uncooked rice, and allow it to soak spontaneously.
  2. Put the split peas and the rice in separate pots, and have them cook for 15 minutes. Keep an eye on them, and kill the heat once the grains are halfway cooked. Drain the excess water and let the peas and the rice cool down. Mix the peas with the rice, and mash it with a hand masher. Avoid mashing to a pulp; you'll want to retain some texture for the meatballs.
  3. Peel and grate one of the onions. Press the grated onions to drain the excess moisture. Heat some vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat, and add the onions. Allow the onions to fry until they turn golden and transparent. Then add the tomato paste, mix it well with the onions and stir. After a minute, add five cups of hot water to the pot and allow it to simmer. Once it gets to the point of boiling, set the heat on low setting and let the sauce thicken.
  4. To prepare the meatball mixture, start with the other onion. Peel and grate the onion and put it in a large bowl. Add the ground meat, salt, black pepper, turmeric, flour and the egg to the bowl and knead them together until the meat is well seasoned. Add in the ground herbs, mashed peas and the rice as well and knead the mixture until it reaches a paste like consistency.
  5. . Moisturize your hands with a dab of water. Grab about two spoonfuls of the meat mixture to form a meatball. You can place dried plums, cranberries, barberries or whole cooked eggs in the center of each meatball.
  6. Place the meatballs gently into the sauce containing pot. Leave the pot half-lidded, and allow the meatballs to simmer on low heat for about an hour.
  7. When the meatballs are simmering, you can also add two or three peeled potatoes to the pot and let them cook as well. Koofteh Tabrizi is served with the sauce on the side. You can enjoy this delightful dish with some bread and fresh lemon juice.
