You're most welcome. Surprise him! In the past they used to make a hole in the kofta and stuff it with fat. Not anymore. This is the healthier version of a traditional and very popular soup in the Middle East. Specially in Syria and Lebanon. Ask for my help if you have any question I'll be glad to help. Mariette
Thanks a million Mariette, you are very kind. Yes, he is Syrian Armenian and misses the Syrian food very much 🙂 if anything I'll post you, thanks again.
Usually the meat used is the leanest part of the upper leg of the ship or cow. it should be ground twice or three times to make it as fine as possible. If you have a Middle Eastern grocery store or butcher in your area they might have it already ready for you to buy. It sells for about $5 a pound in my area. Give it a try and let me know about your experience. If you need any help please don't hesitate to ask. Enjoy! 🙂 Mariette
Hi there.. I freeze the kofta balls all the time. There are two ways to freeze. You can freeze the kofta balls one layer at a time, After they are frozen solid, then you can put them together and store the container(zip log will do) in the freezer. The second method is to boil the Koftas let them cool down on a kitchen towel to absorb as much liquid as possible then freeze in one layer and when frozen collect them in one container and store in the freezer. Enjoy! 🙂 Mariette
Thank you very much. I am glad you liked the recipes and Syrian food, which is similar to Libanese food with slight differences. Give it a try to any recipe or recipes you fancy, and if you have any question I will be glad to help. 🙂 Enjoy!. Mariette

Hi, I was wondering if I can make these kuffta balls in large amounts and freeze for later use.
