Method

Tap a step once you've finished it.

1. Knead the minced meats thoroughly for 5 minutes with the onion juice (don't use the squeezed onion itself), the breadcrumbs, baking soda, salt, pepper and cumin, until sticky. ⏱ Timer: 5 min
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours so it binds together. ⏱ Timer: 2 h
3. With wet hands, shape into oval patties about 6 cm long and 2 cm thick.
4. Grill on a hot grill pan or over charcoal for 3-4 minutes per side, until browned outside and just cooked through inside. ⏱ Timer: 3 min
5. Grill the peppers and the halved tomatoes alongside.
6. Serve with pita, the roasted vegetables and piyaz (onion salad).

Tips

• The long kneading and resting is what makes it dense and juicy.
• The baking soda makes it softer; it can also be left out.
