ARMENIAN KUFTA
This would be categorized as a 'stuffed' meatball! It's a recipe that cousin Debbie, sister Diane and I worked on this winter, trying to replicate our grandmother's kufta. It's been many many years since we've had this, and I think we have it down pretty well. It can be made as a side dish or a main dish soup, by adding pasta and vegetables to the broth when you add the meatballs.

Steps:
- For the outside shell, mix 1-1/2 lbs. ground lamb, bulghur, onion, salt, pepper and parsley together with 1 cup of water. Knead until it becomes cohesive and dough like.
- Set aside and brown 1 lb lamb with large chopped onion until meat is cooked. Add parsley, salt and pepper and cool.
- In the meantime, roll outside shell mixture into balls the size of a small egg. Use a bowl of ice water to keep mixture from sticking to your hands. Shape into cups by inserting your thumb into ball and rotating in your opposite hand until you form a thin shell. Keep wetting your hands in the ice water to keep shell from cracking.
- Fill shell with cooked meat mixture, about 1 tablespoon, close shell, wetting hands with ice water, and seal opening.
- Set aside on a sheet pan, continue to roll balls. Place tray in refrigerator to chill.
- Boil 2 quarts of broth, add pasta and vegetables. Add meatballs and cook them 10 minutes or until they rise to the top.
- Sometimes served with yogurt on the side.

ARMENIAN STEAK TARTARE (CHEE KUFTA)
This is a mouth watering awesome Armenian style steak tartare called Chee kufta by my Aunt Sophie. She made this for me special when I was visiting her, which was very often! It's important to use very, very lean beef and make sure you have the butcher ground it very fine, twice. Knead it as recipe says to: 5 minutes! No, you won't get sick if you prepare it correctly!

Steps:
- What you can do is start by chopping up your parsley in a food chopper until fine.
- Do not use dried parsley.
- Then put the parsley in a large mixing bowl.
- Then cut onion up into pieces-- doesn't matter how small just so you can fit it into the chopper and combine the garlic and chop away until fine-- not pasty though.
- Put the onion garlic mixture in the bowl with the parsley and add ground meat and spices.
- Mix with hands until everything is well blended.
- Pat the meat mixture down in the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan and broil in oven until top is browned, this will enhance the flavor, then take out of the oven.

- Slice tomatoes and potatoes into quarter of an inch in size and layer-- potatoes first and then tomatoes will be top layer.
- Sprinkle with a little salt-- and bake in oven about 425°F covered with foil for approximately 45 minutes to and hour-- enjoy.
ARMENIAN CHE KUFTA (RAW LAMB PATTIES)
Also known as 'kibbe', this is a Middle Eastern raw lamb appetizer. Should be served same day as meat is ground, so it's advantagous to grind meat at home, if possible. Ratio of ingredients are flexible so you can use more or less to taste.

- In a small bowl, combine the bulgur wheat with 1⁄4 cup of warm water and set aside. If using quinoa, follow box instructions to cook, then set aside to cool.

Move the purée to a fine strainer and set over a container to catch liquids as they drain off the mixture.

- In a medium mixing bowl, add the onion purée, chopped parsley, cumin and a few grinds of black pepper, about 1⁄2 teaspoon. In the container with the onion water, add salt and harissa paste and stir to incorporate.
- Using your hands, combine everything together and massage until well mixed and smooth. Form into oblong shaped balls and grill over high heat until medium or to your liking.
