Arabic Samboosak image

This is based on a recipe from the link http://www.nclrc.org/guides/HED/lessons/20.html, which I made after attempting recipe #173583 for the Aussie Recipe Swap #12. At the time, the recipe I had attempted was based on a very rough Arabic translation, so chef #239758 kindly turned me onto this one. I tried this Samboosak, and would recommend serving them with a sauce such as recipe #36126 -- if anyone knows of a more appropriate Arabic sauce, please let me know! :) I think they're quite good without a sauce, too!

1/3 cup corn oil
2 tablespoons corn oil, for frying
2 medium onions, chopped
1 lb ground beef or 1 lb ground lamb

1 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
