Wrap for "Kebbe"

450 g lean mutton, veal or beef *

150-200 g flour

1 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon nutmeg

1 pinch chili powder

1 pinch pepper

• Using more meat and less flour for the wrap improves the consistency and taste of the wrap.

Broil the meat and then mince it three successive times in the meat grinder: first using the medium, then the finely perforated disc and once again with the finely perforated disc after mixing with the other ingredients. Then use the "Kebbe" accessory to shape the wraps that you will cut to the desired length.

1 1/2 soupspoon olive oil
1½ soupspoon fine chopped onion
1/3 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon salt

250 g boiled rice

IN CASE THE MOTOR IS BLOCKED

In case the motor slows down or stops it is possible that the meat blocks the grinder. In this case, use the reverse switch. To do so, first switch off the meat grinder by pressing the on/off switch, then press the reverse switch. The worm will start rotating in the other direction and the meat will move in the other direction as well in order to release the funnel. To stop the reverse function, simply release the reverse switch. You can now press the on/off switch again. Be very careful when handling the blade, as it is very sharp.
