TEPSI KEBAP from SIMPLY

This is a simple kabab formula, seasoned with onion, garlic, parsley, and chilli flakes. Plus some tomato paste and red bell pepper. I doubled the garlic and the chilli flakes after tasting, and also topped with tomato puree for a bit of sauciness as I had seen in another recipe.

Main change was using ground turkey (as I often do for kababs), as the only ground lamb I can get is too fatty for an everyday meal.

This comes together quickly and is pressed into a baking dish, so there is no need to form into kababs.

Strange thing happened — it pulled away from the sides and exuded a bunch of liquid. But I left it while I ate my salad, and by the time I served myself, all the liquid had been reabsorbed!

Very tasty — I’d definitely make this again with the enhanced seasonings. Recommend grilled / roasted onions on the side for a lovely balance.
