Thinly sliced lamb spleen is marinated in olive oil, thyme and chilli flakes, then quickly grilled over the coals for this snack, inspired by the late-night menu of Turkish tradesmen's diners.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prep

8 min

Slice the lamb spleen into 2-centimetre pieces and rub well with olive oil, thyme, chilli flakes, salt and black pepper.

2

Marinate

15 min

Let the seasoned slices rest for 15 minutes; this lets the spices soak into the meat.

3

Grill

6 min

Place the slices over hot coals and grill quickly, 3 minutes per side for 6 minutes total; do not overcook or it will toughen.

4

Squeeze lemon and serve

2 min

Squeeze lemon over it while still hot and serve immediately.

Reminder

Do not overcook the spleen; past 6 minutes it turns rubbery. Do not cut the marinating time short — the spices need at least 15 minutes to soak in.

Kekik bulamadığım için kuru nane kullandım, tat beklediğimden daha keskin çıktı ama fena olmadı. Pul biberi de yarıya indirdim, yoksa çok acı olacaktı; bir dahaki sefere taze nane ile de deneyeceğim.

Dilimleri kalın kestiğim için 6 dakika yetmedi, içi çiğ kaldı ve tekrar ateşe koymam gerekti. İnce kesince ikinci denemede tam kıvamında pişti, dilimleri 1 santimetreyi geçmemek en iyi sonucu veriyor.
