AuthorbaidooneShish Barak is Small Lebanese meat patties, cooked and served in a yogurt sauce made with garlic & onion, served with rice. The unusual flavor comes from the combination of garlic and coriander.
Cut the dough into circles not larger than two inches in diameter.
Put a teaspoon of stuffing on each and fold over. Press edges together firmly. Now bend the half circle so that both ends meet.
Place on a tray and dry in a slow oven for 15 minutes. Heat one recipe of cooked laban (yogurt) and simmer the shish barak until the dough seems cooked. Crushed garlic, salt and kizbara should be fried separately and gently in a small amount of samneh to enhance their flavors. If fresh kizbara is not on the market, use the dried or substitute a few pounded seeds. Add to laban and simmer. Serve tepid with rice.
