This dish is the Middle Eastern version of meatloaf. It is thinner and much more flavorful than traditional meatloaf. It is great served on a bed of white rice with a side of yogurt. There is a lot of slicing and dicing involved so to speed up the prep time, use a food chopper. Read more Enjoy! See less
