Lula kebab (Armenian: լուլա քյաբաբ, romanized: lula kʿyabab, Azerbaijani: lülə kabab) is a type of kebab cooked on skewers. It is made from minced meat. It is a specialty of Armenian,[1][2] Azerbaijani,[3][4] and other cuisines of countries in South Caucasus, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
Ingredients
[edit]- Mutton (or minced sheep and beef meat by 50:50)
- Onion
- Sheep tail fat
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sumac (optional)
- Lavash (optional)
Preparation
[edit]
The soft portion of the mutton is ground with onion using a meat grinder and mixed with pepper and salt. There should be 400 grams of onion in per 1 kilogram of minced meat. This ratio is followed to make it stay on the skewer. The meat mash is mixed well and stored in the refrigerator for an hour.[5] Later the mince is extracted from the refrigerator and is mixed well. The mince is wrapped around the skewer.[6] The mince gets slightly long form on a slightly wide skewer. Then it gets fried on coal barbecue, called a mangal. It's cooked for 10-15 minutes.[7] The kebab is served between the lavash. Sprinkling sumac on it is optional.
