Tasty Facts
– Lula kebab is made from lamb, but veal or pork is allowed. The main secret is not to freeze the meat. It is recommended to chop fresh meat with two hatchets until fine minced meat is formed. If the hatchets are periodically dipped in boiling water, the fat will not stick to them during chopping and will not interfere with the quick processing of meat.
– Standard proportions of products for kebab – 80% minced meat 20% fat. Onions should be taken a maximum of a third of the amount of meat. An important condition is that the onion for cooking kebab must be simply finely chopped. If you use a blender, the abundance of the resulting juice will not allow the kebab to stick firmly on the skewer. Of the spices for kebab, coriander, cumin and black pepper are ideal. A large amount of greenery would also be appropriate.
– The size of sausages – no more than 4 centimeters thick for quick frying and preserving the juice inside. With excessively fatty minced meat, an excellent option for frying kebab kebab on the grill will be a double sheet of foil with small depressions squeezed in to drain fat.
