Method

  1. In the first stage, make sure to buy the fawari'gh clean, then wash them again at home, soak them, and rub them with lemon, vinegar, and salt several times to make sure they are ready for cooking
  2. Mix the filling ingredients... after washing and draining the rice, of course... add it to the minced meat and the rest of the ingredients and mix
  3. Turn the fawari'gh inside out and start stuffing, so that the outer side of the fawari'gh becomes the inside
  4. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and boil for 1 1/2 to 2 hours... and of course add the seasonings to the boiling water (except the cinnamon stick so the water does not change color)
    Timers: 120 min
  5. Once the fawari'gh are cooked, serve them boiled, or you can fry them in oil in a pan or grill them in the oven to give them a grilled flavor
