Hello Phaedrus,
I'm from Holland and i came across your lost recipe site. My friend, Talia is
from Iraq and she showed me how to make Kubbah. It's different from your recipe
so I want to share it with you. The main difference is the rice. It's a great
recipe and all my friends and kids love it. Talia is very sick now and it would
be great if her recipe goes around the world, even when she's gone in a few month's...
Kubbah a la Talia
Ingredients:
2 cups of sticky rice (Not the long grain like Basmati, if you use basmati it's difficult
to make the rice sticky. The kubbah falls apart easaly when frying)
salt and pepper
1 small onion, chopped very fine
sellery(sic)(celery) leaves (hand full) chopped
350 grams ground beef or lamb
oil for deep frying
Bahart /spices:
We can buy them in Holland, but if you can't buy it in the US you can make your own.
Basically you just bake all the ingredients in a pan and grind them afterwards.
You can store it in a jar and use it the whole year :-)
1/2 cup whole black pepper
1/4 cup whole coriander seeds
1/4 cup cinnamon (the inner bark, I don't know how it's named in the US) (Just regular cinnamon)
1/4 cup whole cloves
1/3 cup cumin seeds
1/2 cup ground paprika
2 teaspoons whole cardamom seeds
4 whole nutmegs
For this kubbah recipe you'll need about 2 or 3 teaspoons of the Bahart.
How to:
Soak the rice for an hour in water. Clean the rice after soaking until the water is
clear. Cook the rice in water with 2 tsp salt (I always add tumeric when cooking the
rice because it gives a great taste) . Stir now and then. Let it cool.When complete
cooled, mash the rice in a kitchen-machine (don't know the english word for it) or
in a meat mincer. It's a very sticky substance so u should wet your hands when
touching the rice.Fry the onions and the sellery leaves (no cillantro!) and set aside.
Fry the ground beef and add two tsp of the baharat (or 3), salt and pepper. Mix the
onions/cellery with the ground beef. Let it cool.
The rest of the recipe is the same like yours:With a palmful of rice mixture, form
a flat disc, place a teaspoon or two of meat mixture in the centre and fold the rice
paste over it (Amera makes small saucer shapes and oval, mini-torpedo shapes).
Deep fry in vegetable or olive oil until golden.

Arthur Treacher's-style Fish & Chips
3 pounds fish fillets (see directions)
flour (for dusting)
vegetable oil (for deep-frying)
3 cups pancake mix (dry type)
3 cups club soda, more as needed
1 package frozen cottage fries (see directions)
lemon wedges (for accompaniment)
tartar sauce, as desired
ketchup, as desired
Cooking Directions:
The simplicity of imitating the original Arthur Treacher Fish is to whip together
the boxed pancake mix (used dry from the box) with the club soda, till the batter
becomes the consistency of buttermilk. You may have to add a little more club soda
to achieve this consistency. (Perhaps a 1/2 cup more will do!) Set it aside.
Cut 2 to 3 pound fish fillets each in half, making a triangle shape of each half.
Moisten each in a bit of water. Shake off excess water and coat lightly in plain flour.
Let pieces dry 3 or 4 minutes on waxed paper, without touching each other. The floured
coating acts as an adhesive, so that when you dip them each into the wet batter, the
coating will not break apart nor fall off during frying.
With tip of small sharp knife, pierce 1 floured piece of fish at a time and dip to coat
evenly but lightly in prepared fish batter. Drop at once into 3-inch depth of hot oil
(385-400 degrees F) and fry only a few minutes each side, turning only once to brown
each side. Do NOT use tongs to remove fish from hot oil, or coating will break and fall
apart. Spear pieces 1 at a time with tip of sharp knife & place on cookie sheet (ungreased)
and keep pieces warm in 300 degrees F oven till all pieces have been fried.
The CHIPS are imitated by cutting frozen "cottage Fries" each in half to a crescent shape
and fried in the same hot oil, after frying the fish, just as you would frozen French fries.
OR prepare your own fries.
