Shishbarak

Shishbarak does not mean anything in Lebanese, so I am assuming it is Turkish reference to this meal. Shishbarak are the Lebanese version of tortellini.

Lebanese housewives will make the dough, roll them into small tortellini pies stuffed with cooked minced meat with spices and parsley. These are then baked.

Shishbarak is then served over rice and covered with yogurt sauce (see November 18 entry - Yogurt Cooking with White Cat).

Heavy on carbs, but as a dinner guest says, carbs are better for you than meat. Enjoy.
