A family-table staple of Iraqi cooking, kufta bi tamata simmers spiced meatballs in a tomato sauce inside a pressure cooker. The meatballs turn tender quickly, yielding a saucy dish to serve with bread or rice.
Knead the beef mince with the grated onion, rinsed rice, parsley, cumin, salt and pepper, then shape into golf-ball-sized meatballs.
Sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic in the olive oil for the sauce, add the tomato purée once softened and cook a few minutes more, then pour in 1 cup of water.
Arrange the meatballs in the simmering sauce, seal the pressure cooker lid and cook under pressure over low heat for 15 minutes.
Open the lid once the pressure has fully released, and scatter the toasted pine nuts over the dish before serving.
Bring the sauce to a light simmer before adding the meatballs, otherwise they can fall apart in a cold sauce. Do not open the pressure cooker lid until the pressure has fully released. Allergens: contains tree nuts (pine nuts).
Toasted almond slivers can be used instead of pine nuts, giving a slightly firmer crunch.

Pirinç bulamadığım için köfte harcına yerine bir dilim ıslatılmış bayat ekmek içi ekledim, bağlayıcılık aynı oldu ama köfteler biraz daha yumuşak kaldı; bir dahaki sefere yine pirinçle deneyeceğim çünkü doku biraz daha yoğundu.
