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:

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.
