Loole Kebabs Recipes

KOFTA KEBABS

Steps:

• Mash the garlic into a paste with the salt using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a chef's knife on your cutting board. Mix the garlic into the lamb along with the onion, parsley, coriander, cumin, cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, ginger, and pepper in a mixing bowl until well blended. Form the mixture into 28 balls. Form each ball around the tip of a skewer, flattening into a 2 inch oval; repeat with the remaining skewers. Place the kebabs onto a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes, or up to 12 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil grate.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning occasionally, until the lamb has cooked to your desired degree of doneness, about 6 minutes for medium.

LULEH KEBABS- PERSIAN GROUND LAMB KEBABS

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in warm water for 20-30 minutes prior to preparing food.
• Place meat in a large bowl; add the onion, egg, salt, pepper, and cinnamon.
• Beat with a spoon until well mixed and the meat turns lighter in color.
• Take a handful of the mixture and form it around the skewer to approximately 6" long and 1" in diameter to make an elongated patty (it helps to oil hands, and lay out some wax paper to work on). If your meat is too wet to work with, as sometimes happens with too much onion or wet meat, it can help to just shape the kebabs on a piece of non-stick foil and grill them that way, on the foil, turning the kebab over as it cooks and comes together.
• Set kebabs aside on wax paper on another plate until ready to grill.
• Grill kebabs over hot coals or under broiler until cooked through, turning once.
• Serve with lemon wedges, and chelou (rice) with a sprinkling of sumak seasoning (optional).

HOMEMADE DONER KEBAB

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat the oven to 350 F.
• In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, egg, garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
• Place the mixture into an oiled 9 x 5-inch loaf pan and cook in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is a light golden brown.
• You can slice the loaf immediately if you like but, for best results, cool completely, wrap in aluminum foil, and refrigerate until firm.
• To reheat, add a little olive oil to a large skillet, slice the loaf very thinly and crisp up the slices in the hot pan for a few minutes.
• Assemble the sandwiches with pita, warmed and toasted through. Spread on some tzatziki or tahini sauce, add lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, and top with more sauce.
• Serve and enjoy.

GIANT ROTISSERIE KEBAB

Steps:

• Prepare a rotisserie according to the manufacturer's instructions for cooking over high heat.
• Whisk the oil, vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, 1 tablespoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl. Pour half into another bowl, reserving one for after everything is cooked.
• Thread the rotisserie spit with a spit fork and then thread 2 pieces of meat, 1 piece of onion, 1 piece of each color bell pepper and 1 squash (or 1 zucchini piece). Repeat with the remaining ingredients and secure tightly with another spit fork. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper and place on the rotisserie. Brush the meat and vegetables with the sauce to coat and cook until it starts to brown, about 10 minutes. Brush with more sauce and continue to cook until the meat is cooked to the desired doneness and the vegetables are softened and blistered, about 15 minutes more for medium rare.
• Remove the spit from the fire and let rest for 10 minutes. Warm the flatbreads on the grill, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Slide the meat and vegetables off the spit onto a serving platter, drizzle with the reserved sauce and serve with the flatbreads.

SWEET-AND-SPICY BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, Sriracha and garlic in a large bowl. Add the beef and onion and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate 1 to 4 hours.
• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Thread the beef, onion and scallions onto eight 10-inch skewers and brush with more oil. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until marked, about 7 minutes for medium rare.

STEAK AND POTATO KEBABS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high and brush the grates with vegetable oil. Put the potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, cover and microwave until just tender, about 5 minutes. Toss the beef with the olive oil in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Thread the beef, potatoes and asparagus onto eight 10-inch skewers.
• Combine the ketchup, mustard, vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, the Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until marked, about 6 minutes for medium rare. Serve with the sauce.

KEBABS WITH PORK THREE WAYS
