Ingredients
For kaserli kebab:
- 500 g minced beef twice minced
- 500 g Minced lamb twice minced
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 bunch parsley finely chopped
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes
- 1/2 tsp fenugreek
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 300 g kasseri cheese grated
To serve:
- souvlaki wraps
- Roasted Tomatoes
- onion sliced
- Tzatziki sauce
- parsley
- French Fries
Instructions
- In a bowl, add all the ingredients for the kebabs, except the kasseri cheese and mix them well, until the mixture is even.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in the fridge for 1 hour, so that the mixture thickens.
- Take a portion of the mixture, press it slightly with your hands, so that it gets a rectangular shape, and put some kasseri cheese on top. Shape the minced meat around the kasseri cheese, to cover it completely and form a kebab.
- Repeat the same process with the rest of the mixture and pass the kebabs through skewers, unless you want to leave them as they are.
- Place a pan or a grill pan over medium to high heat. Once heated, add a little olive oil and cook the kebabs for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and completely cooked.
- Serve the kaserli kebabs with souvlaki wraps, roasted tomatoes, onion, tzatziki sauce, parsley and French fries.
