cevaps

In May 2016, I went to Serbia. While there, exploring Belgrade and the various markets, a friend and I came across a butcher. For about $2.50, we had our fill of various skewers and kebabs. This recipe is inspired by that experience.

Ingredients:

• 3 kg ground beef (lean or regular)
• 4 kg ground pork
• 2 large onions, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup garlic powder
• 1 head of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup onion powder
• 2 tbsp ancho chili powder
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp cinnamon
• 2 tbsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp salt
• 1/4 cup parsley, fresh, or 1/3 cup dried

1. Combine all ingredients in a very large mixing bowl, adding the lemon juice and parsley last.
2. Portion the meat out in meat balls using a scale, approximately 80 grams per meatball.
3. Form the meat balls onto the skewer, making them into kebabs.
4. Cook over sugar maple hardwood lump charcoal.
