Lula kebab with sauce · Grilled recipes

So we opened the season of kebabs and outdoor recreation. One of the traditional dishes I cook on trips to nature is Lula kebab.

Lula kebab is a kebab made of ground meat with the addition of fragrant spices. It can be eaten as an independent dish, and can be put in a flatbread or wrapped in lavash. In this recipe Lula kebab is given in a yeast-free flatbread with an interesting spicy sauce.

Ingredients (for 4-5 servings):

Minced meat

Beef (shoulder) – 500 g.
Lard – 150 grams.
Onion – 150 g.
Cumin – 1 tbsp
Coriander – 1 tbsp
Salt – 1 tsp
Black pepper – 1 tsp

Sauce

Greek yoghurt – 250g
Mayonnaise – 2 tbsp
Adjika – 1 tsp
Tchina – 1 tsp
Garlic – 1 clove
Cumin – 1 tsp
Mint – leaves from two twigs

Flatbread

Wheat flour of the highest grade – 350 grams.
Water – 200ml
Vegetable oil – 2 tbsp
Salt – 1 tsp

Preparatory stage at home

1 Minced cook in advance. Meat must be cleaned of films and veins. Then we pass it through the meat grinder twice. We do this in order to make the kebab turned out to be tender and juicy.

We rub the cumin, coriander and salt in a mortar. If you do not have a mortar – you can add ready-made ground spices.

Mix the minced meat with diced lard (0.5 to 0.5 cm). Add finely chopped onions, spices with salt and pepper. Now we need to mix everything thoroughly. It is important that in the end the mince became homogeneous.

Put the prepared mince in the dishes, while carefully sealing it, and remove it in the refrigerator.

2 You can also prepare the dough for the flatbread in advance (before leaving). Make it simple. Sift the flour into a bowl. Add warm water, vegetable oil and salt to the flour. And knead the elastic dough. Divide the resulting dough into 5 balls. Pack each ball in film, so that the dough is not dried.

The main stage of preparation

1 First, prepare the flatbread. We will fry them on fire in a preheated frying pan.

Each ball is rolled into a flatbread with a diameter of 15 cm. Fry it in a frying pan on each side for 3 minutes. At this time, the flatbread will start to inflate a little, forming an inner pocket. Once again, turn it over to the already toasty side, with which they began to fry, and it is inflated even more.

2 Next stage. Let’s make the sauce for Lula kebab. Mix Greek yogurt with mayonnaise, adjika and tkhina. Add a clove of garlic squeezed through the press to this mixture. There we add chopped cumin and mint. We mix everything well. The sauce is ready!

3 When the flatbread and sauce are prepared, you can proceed to baking the kebab on the grill.

We form oblong cutlets from minced meat with wet hands. We carefully string them onto skewers, pinching the edges. Spread the skewers on a well-heated grill. The grill should be hot from the coals. If this is not the case, the cutlets may fall from the skewers. We bake for about 15 minutes. The Lula kebab should be well browned. But at the same time it is important not to overexpose it, otherwise the kebab will be dry.

4 Final stage. Make an incision in a flatbread, like a pocket. Inside put a whole or cut into pieces Lula kebab. There we put pre-marinated onions in lemon juice, herbs and/or any fresh vegetables. Add the sauce on top.
