Grind the meat twice in a food processor until it has attained a pasty
consistency. Add powdered rice, but just enough so that the meat remains
red. Add some salt. Put it through the food processor again. The meat will
become slightly rose-colored because of the addition of the powdered rice.
Take a ladle to form the kibbeh. Open the kibbeh and stuff with mixture of
toasted pine nuts, 1/4 a teaspoon chicken fat and a 1/4 teaspoon bhar
pepper. Seal the kibbeh and form them into little flat-bottomed "hills".
Fry them brown. Put them in a large casserole, barely covered with water
and let the water boil. Add the juice of two lemons. Let them simmer on a
low flame until the water has evaporated, and the bottom is brown.
Add 1/3 cup more water to create a sauce from the browned particles which
remain at the bottom of the casserole. Cover the kibbeh with the brown
sauce (demi-glace). Serve warm.
This recipe is used during Pessach by the Sephardic Jews, since they
traditionally eat rice during the holiday.
