INGREDIENTS

  • 1 recipe of Cosette’s Kitchen dough or 1 lb store-bought dough

  • 1 pound ground American Lamb

  • 1/2 cup onion, finely diced

  • 1/2 cup tomato, finely diced

  • 1/2 cup plain yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses  ~ found at most Middle Eastern store or in Natural section of grocery store

  • 1 teaspoon all-spice

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt (adjust after cooking first one as needed)

  • Pine nuts (optional)

DIRECTIONS

Prepare your dough as per recipe, or allow store bought to rise.

Position oven rack to 2nd one from top. Place a sheet of foil on the rack BELOW to catch any drips.

I prefer to make my sfeeha on the smaller size, I use an 8″ non-stick pan. You can make yours larger if you choose, just adjust the size of your dough you start with.

In a large bowl, combine all your ingredients for your meat mixture. Set aside.

Take a small piece of dough, about 1/3 cup sized, flour your surface well and roll using a rolling pin until flat and round enough to fit your pan. Place dough round in your pan on medium-low heat.

With your dough in the pan, scoop a few tablespoons of your meat mixture and carefully spread on the dough. You may use your clean hands to spread until evenly coated, leaving a small edge.

Sprinkle with pine nuts (optional)

Allow dough to brown on the bottom, about 2-4 minutes then using a spatula, transfer to the broiler for another 2-3 minutes until meat is fully browned.

Remove and place on cooling rack, enjoy!

Repeat with remaining dough.

Store extras in a ziplock tight bag or container for 5-7 days. Warm to serve.
