Breaking news...Ktzitzot - Israeli Kebabs
Ktzitzot (Serves 4)
This recipe was given to me over 20 years ago by a Morrocan Jewish neighbour who lived in our apartment block. The kebabs can be served hot, but are also great cold for buffets.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 Kilo fresh beef mince
- 2 large fried onions chopped
- 2 large handfuls of chopped fresh parsley
- 2 large handfuls of chopped fresh dill
- 2 thick slices wet bread
- 2 beaten eggs
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chicken soup powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground sweet paprika
Directions:
- Place the mince in a large bowl and add the onions that have been fried until a little brown in some cooking oil.
- Squeeze the excess water out of the bread and add
- Then add the other ingredients and mix well with clean hands until all is incorporated.
- With damp hands form into oval shapes (large sausage size).
- Shallow fry in medium hot oil until a dark brown colour turning occasionally.
Serve with salad, rice or potatoes.
Notes:
I don't add salt as Israeli chicken soup powder is salty, but if you can't get hold of it, just add salt to taste.
