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.

- 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.

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!

CHEF JOHN'S KOFTA KEBABS
I'm excited to share what is one of my all-time favorite things to grill. This is perfect for those times when you want to take a break from grilling burgers, but you also kinda want a grilled burger, since this is basically a Mediterranean-style meatball on a stick. I know "shish" gets more love, but "kofta" might be the best kebab. Serve over a tomato, onion, and cucumber salad with flatbread or pita and a lemony tahini dressing.

Steps:
- Cut toasted bread slice into thin strips on a cutting board; cut strips across into a small dice.
- Place onion, parsley, and garlic on top of diced bread on the cutting board; chop until mixture resembles tabbouleh.
- Season beef and lamb with kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, paprika, cardamom, nutmeg, and cayenne. Add onion mixture and water. Mix and mash with your hands until well combined.
- Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 1 hour, up to overnight.
- Remove meat from the refrigerator and roll ¼ of the mixture into a ball using wet hands. Pierce in the middle with a bamboo skewer. Shape meat into a uniform log, about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
- Meanwhile, preheat a charcoal grill until coals are very hot.
- Place kebabs on the hot grill until browned and cooked through, about 12 minutes, turning every 3 minutes or so. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a kebab should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Serve.

- First, soak a very small piece of sandwich bread in water until super tender, then drain the water and squeeze the bread dry. Place the bread in a large mixing bowl. Add ground chicken, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley and mint. Add Aleppo-style pepper, coriander, paprika, kosher salt and pepper. Add the egg, if using, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil to bring this mixture together.
- Take fistfuls of the chicken mixture and form into 8 oval patties that are about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick (try to keep them all equal in size).Arrange the patties on a tray or a large plate (they should not be touching) and chill for 15 to 20 minutes while the grill is heating (longer if you have the time)
- Grease the grates of your gas grill (or an indoor griddle or skillet) with a bit of oil and preheat to medium-high. When ready, arrange the chicken kofta on the grill or griddle so that they are far enough apart (you'll want to have enough room to turn them over). Grill for 4 to 5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked. (Use a grill-safe spatula to turn the chicken kofta over halfway through cooking).
- In my opinion these kofta patties are best hot off the grill. Add a little garnish of Aleppo-style pepper if you like and serve with your favorite Mediterranean sides.
