seifum
Seifum, also known as seif, is a traditional dish from the Middle East, particularly popular in the Levant region, including Lebanon, Syria, and Palestine. It is a savory dish made from a mixture of finely chopped or ground meat, typically lamb or beef, mixed with a variety of spices and herbs. The most common spices used include cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and allspice, while the herbs often include parsley and mint. The meat is usually cooked with onions, garlic, and sometimes tomatoes, and the resulting mixture is then formed into small, cylindrical shapes, similar to sausages. These shapes are then grilled or fried until they are browned and crispy on the outside. Seifum is often served as a street food or as part of a meze, a selection of small dishes that accompany grilled meats. It is a popular dish for its rich flavor and texture, and it is often enjoyed with pita bread or other flatbreads.
