Middle Eastern Kufta

Ingredients

 * 1½ – 2 lbs ground beef or ground lamb or ground turkey
 * 1 large onion
 * ½ – ¾ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
 * 4 cloves garlic
 * seasoning salt or salt
 * allspice
 * black pepper
 * garlic powder

Directions

 * 1) Start by chopping up your parsley in a food chopper until fine. Do not use dried parsley.
 * 2) Then put the parsley in a large mixing bowl.
 * 3) Then cut onion up into pieces — doesn't matter how small just so you can fit it into the chopper and combine the garlic and chop away until fine — not pasty though.
 * 4) Put the onion garlic mixture in the bowl with the parsley and add ground meat and spices.
 * 5) Mix with hands until everything is well blended.
 * 6) Pat the meat mixture down in the bottom of a 9x13 baking pan and broil in oven until top is browned, this will enhance the flavor, then take out of the oven.
 * 7) Peel potatoes.
 * 8) Slice tomatoes and potatoes into quarter of an inch in size and layer — potatoes first and then tomatoes will be top layer.
 * 9) Sprinkle with a little salt—and bake in oven about 425 °F covered with foil for approximately 45 minutes to and hour — enjoy.
