Ground beef is kneaded with onion, parsley, and spices, shaped onto skewers or into flat logs, and grilled. The mixture can be frozen in large batches before cooking, making this recipe a spicy option for picnics and late-night snacks.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the mixture

10 min

Knead the ground beef with the grated onion, parsley, Turkish red pepper flakes, cumin, allspice, salt, and black pepper for 10 minutes, until sticky.

2

Let it rest

15 min

Cover the mixture and refrigerate it for 15 minutes so the spices can meld.

3

Shape

10 min

Press the mixture around skewers or shape it into flat logs with your hands.

4

Grill

12 min

Cook on a preheated grill for 6 minutes per side, until browned on the outside.

Reminder

Do not skip resting the mixture before shaping it; an unrested mixture can fall off the skewers easily. You can prepare a large batch and freeze it raw; thaw it completely in the refrigerator before cooking.

Harcı 15 dakika yerine gece boyunca buzdolabında dinlendirdim, baharat kokusu çok daha belirgindi. Izgarada 6 dakika yerine 8 dakika tuttum çünkü şişler biraz kalın olmuştu, dışı biraz fazla koyulaştı.
