TO MAKE KUBBE--Recipe--(Stuffing)

100g of mutton

1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons onion (cut finely)

1/3 teaspoon all spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 tablespoon flour. Mince mutton once or twice. Fry onion until brown and add minced mutton, all spice, salt and flour.

(Outer cover): 450g lean meat, 150-200 g flour, 1 teaspoon all spice , 1 nutmeg, a pinch powdered red pepper, dash pepper.

Mince meat three times and mix all ingredients together in a bowl.

More meat and less flour for outer cover creates better consistency and taste.

7 Place Kubbe Attachment A and B onto Feed Screw shaft together, fitting protrusions in the slots.

8 Screw Cap into place until tight. Do not over tighten.

I am told alot of people, on the internet want to buy a meat grinder for a Raw Dog Diet. We have sold many meat grinders, that were the name brand Villaware, and Maverick, but both of them from the same mfg, are out of production and discontinued now. We have been selling the New Maverick MM5501 for $99.00, and this Alfa Model for this purpose now to customers on the internet, who want to grind up soft bones for their pets to eat. Maverick and Alfa and Pierce, DO NOT advise you and DO NOT tell you to grind bones in any meat grinder. You are doing so at your own risk !

The Unit has been on the market approx. 3 yrs, i am told, from Alfa. (AS OF 10-28-2008)
