Method

  • To prepare the kebabs:.
  • Mix the ground meats with the onion, pine nuts, bread and garlic.
  • In a separate bowl beat the egg yolk with the olive oil and spices and baking soda.
  • Add to the meats and knead together.
  • Give the meat a few minutes to rest.
  • With oiled hands, roll small balls of meat and then shape into kebabs.
  • If you want, you can skewer them on wooden sticks, or leave them as is (I left mine alone).
  • It's best to place the kebabs in the freezer for a few minutes to firm up.
  • Grill over hot coals or bake in a 230 degree centigrade oven for 10-15 minutes.
  • To prepare the silan and ginger sauce:.
  • Place all the ingredients in a pot and bring to the boil.
  • Let the sauce reduce until it achieves the thickness you prefer.
  • Taste and correct seasonings if necessary.
  • To prepare the chimichurri:.
  • Place all the ingredients with the exception of the olive oil in the food processor and give it a good zhuzz until combined.
  • While the stuff is still zhuzzing, slowly add the olive oil through the chute.
  • Taste and correct seasonings if necessary.
  • To put the whole thing together:.
  • Place a tablespoon of the chimichurri on a small plate.
  • Place a kebab on top of the chimichurri.
  • Drizzle with sauce.
