Kubeiba, Syrian Style

Moisten your hands, take a small piece of kubeiba, place on the wet palm of your hand, make a hole in the kubeiba with the index finger of other hand, and rotate, half-closing the palm until very thin.

Half-fill with well-spiced savory minced beef, and a small dot of animal fat.

Again, wet your hands and close kubeiba to mold a round or egg-shaped ball.

Brown well all around, or place in greased oven tin, baste surface with cooking oil, and place under grill in pre-heated hot oven until nicely brown all over.
