Kabab Looleh- Grilled minced meat skewers – کباب لوله

Kabab Looleh- Grilled minced meat skewers - کباب لوله

The most popular leisure activity of all Persians is to barbecue kababs. No wonder, as this is a lot of fun in the summer heat. Therefore, grilling time is also kabab time for us! So heat up the charcoal grill, for inspiration I have a delicious Kabab recipe for you today, it is nice and juicy, savory and spicy. Typical oriental spices such as cumin and cinnamon give my Kabab Looleh- minced meat skewers from the grill – کباب لوله a unique flavor. I used half lamb and half ground beef for the grilled skewers and seasoned them with some chopped fresh parsley.

The ground beef is simply wrapped around the grill skewers and then grilled over the charcoal for a few minutes. For a special event or for even more flavor, you can also wrap the ground beef skewers around cinnamon sticks and then grill them. From the charcoal grill, however, the minced meat skewers taste best. You can grill them also in a grill pan, but then the roasted flavors and the smoky grill touch will be lost. Yum, I love the smell of this!

MATCHING SIDE DISHES

My Kabab recipe is perfect for a barbecue event in the garden, at the lake or even for a picnic. In Persia, we like to eat kebabs as loghme, for this we wrap them with tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs like mint, parsley, basil and cilantro in lavash bread to make a wrap and enjoy. It is also very popular served with Sabzi Khordan – a herb platter. It goes well with different salads, such as My Piyaz – White Rice Bean Salad. For dipping, I recommend you my Borani – Yogurt dips recipes and as a drink, an ice-cold Dugh – national drink made from homemade yogurt or Sekandjebin Khiyar – mint lemonade with grated cucumbers will taste best with it.

INGREDIENTS KABAB LOOLEH

500 g minced lamb

500 g ground beef

1 medium sized onion

1 handful flat leaf parsley

INGREDIENTS SPICE MIX

1 tablespoon cumin*

1 tablespoon cinnamon*

salt, pepper

PREPARATION KABAB LOOLEH

Grate onion or chop finely in a food processor as I did. Squeeze the water out of the onions in a sieve. Finely chop the flat-leaf parsley, add it with the spice mixture to the minced meat and knead everything into a sticky dough. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, better yet overnight.

Take a handful of the mixture with wet hands and form it around the skewer . I used metal skewers, but you can also use wooden skewers. These should be watered for half an hour, though, so they don’t burn when grilled. Grill the kabab skewers over the charcoal grill for 3 – 5 minutes, turning them over and over. If you use a grill pan, grill over medium heat for 8-10 min. until the kababs are browned but still juicy. Turn skewers every 2 minutes. Serve with sumac.
