Instructions:

  1. Rinse the intestine thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grains, ground meat (if using), onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
  3. Stuff the mixture into the intestine, leaving enough room at the ends to secure the opening.
  4. Tie the ends of the intestine with butcher’s twine or secure it with toothpicks.
  5. Place the kishkeh in a large pot and cover it with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 2-3 hours or until the grains are tender.
  6. Remove the kishkeh from the pot and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into thick rounds and serve hot. Enjoy!

Optional: You can also place the kishkeh in a slow cooker with the same amount of water and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Alternatively, you can bake it in the oven at 350°F for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until the grains are tender.
