Syrian Meatballs

Labels: { , }


Syrian meatballs are made with ground beef (or lamb), rice, carrot, garlic and curry. They are fast and easy to make. The recipe is adopted from Hackfleisch Leckere Rezepte für die ganze Familie.

  • 500 g Minced beef (or lamb)
  • 125 g Cooked carrots, minced
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 100 g Rice, cooked
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Curry powder
  • Salt and pepper
  • 7-10 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • Cooking oil


  1. In a mixing bowl, add in the minced beef, cooked carrots, minced garlic, cooked rice, egg, curry powder, salt and pepper to taste. Stir until the mixture is well-blended.
  2. Roll the beef-rice mixture into 3cm balls, about 35 balls. Coat each ball evenly with sesame seeds. Heat the oil in a large skillet until hot. Lower in the meatballs, several at a time and fry until cooked through and nicely golden. Remove and drain. Serve them warm with sour cream.



May this New Year bring newly found prosperity, love, happiness and delight in your life.

These meatballs are unique, and I'll wager taste as delicious as they look. I would love to try them, but we have a seed allergy in this house (not me, grins). I am intrigued by this recipe!
