About Dawood Pasha
Sawsan Abu Farha’s Dawood Basha is an Arabic meatball dish with a tomato-and-vegetable sauce. This profile follows her beef version, with fried potato cubes and rice as the named accompaniment.
Onion, garlic, allspice and cinnamon season the meat. Tomato, tomato paste and green sweet pepper form the savoury sauce, while parsley appears in the meatball method.
The small meatballs sit among potato pieces in the sauce. Olive oil is the explicitly named browning medium. The author’s separately noted, nontraditional curry-powder twist is outside this selected version.
