Cook the diced meat with 5 cups water for 60 minutes, until tender.
Pulse the soaked rice in a food processor into coarse broken grains.
Knead the rice, ground beef, salt and black pepper for 12 minutes.
Roll the mixture into chickpea-sized meatballs.
Add the meatballs to the meat broth and cook for 18 minutes.
Temper the strained yogurt with hot meat broth and slowly add it to the pot.
Add the chickpeas, heat for 8 minutes without boiling and finish with mint oil.
💡 Tip: Tempering the yogurt with hot meat broth prevents it from curdling when it enters the pot.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Drizzle mint oil over the top and serve hot in bowls for a holiday table.
