# Mix the ground [[Lamb]] with the [[leek]]s, [[rice]], [[egg]]s, [[oil]], [[cilantro]] and [[salt]] & [[pepper]] to taste. Form balls the size of [[walnuts]]. (If you have a cookie scoop, use this and you will get uniform sized meatballs.)
# Place the meatballs in a large saucepan with the [[chicken stock]] and simmer for 20 minutes, adding [[water]] if necessary. Drain the meatballs and cool.
# Roll the meatballs in [[flour]] and melt the [[butter]] or [[margarine]] in a large skillet. When the [[butter]] is hot, add the meatballs and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, until nicely browned.
# Pour the [[apricot]] Sauce on the Kofta and serve. Makes 4 main dish servings.
