In most Middle Eastern countries, kebabs are barbecued, but traditional Iraqi kebabs are made into patties and fried. The author of this recipe has tried them both fried and cooked in an oven, and prefers them baked. It also has an egg, which isn't traditional. Ingredients:
1 lb ground lamb or 1 lb ground beef |
1 small red peppers or 1 small green bell pepper, chopped |
1 large tomato, chopped |
1 onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons cilantro leaves, finely chopped |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon turmeric |
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients in food processor and process 1 to 2 minutes until dough-like consistency.
2. Form into patties about 1/2-inch thick.
3. Place patties in greased baking sheet. (If mixture is too soft, spoon on to sheet with large spoon or by heaping tablespoons, then form into patties.) Bake in preheated 350F oven 1 hour or until tops turn golden brown.**Alternatively, may be pan fried or barbecued**.
