How to cook deliciously - Kurdan Kebab
1. Stage
Prepare the eggplants: Cut the eggplants into thin slices lengthwise. Soak the slices in salted water for about half an hour. Drain after half an hour and dry the eggplants.
2. Stage
In a heated frying pan greased with vegetable oil or on a grill (preferably), fry the eggplant strips on both sides and place on paper towel to soak up the excess oil.
3. Stage
Set the cooked eggplants aside to cool. You will need two eggplant strips for each kebab.
4. Stage
Prepare cutlets: In the minced meat add chopped onion in a blender, minced garlic, finely chopped herbs (I have cilantro), soaked in milk bread, salt and ground black pepper to taste. (Add the bread to the mince together with the liquid in which it soaked).
5. Stage
Knead the stuffing so that it "sticks" well. Form small round cutlets, which flatten a little (the size of the meat ball depends on the length and width of the eggplant plates).
6. Stage
Fry the cutlets on both sides. Then put the fried cutlets aside.
7. Stage
Prepare the sauce: Grate the tomatoes (without skins). Chop and fry the onion, then add the tomato paste, after 3 - 4 minutes add grated tomatoes and minced garlic. Stir, salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 7 minutes. If the sauce is very thick (the tomatoes gave very little juice), add a little boiling water.
8. Stage
Now to form the kebab: Place the eggplant strips crosswise. Place a cutlet on top in the middle.
9. Stage
Wrap the cutlets in eggplant strips: tuck two edges of the bottom eggplant plate to the cutlet.
10. Stage
Then tuck in the remaining edges. You get a closed "envelope".
11. Stage
On a toothpick, thread slices of green bell bell pepper crosswise and half a cherry tomato.
12. Stage
Attach a toothpick in the middle of the cutlet so that the eggplant strips are secured with it.
13. Stage
Pour the prepared sauce into a deep heatproof dish. Place the prepared kebabs on top.
14. Stage
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are baked on top.
15. Stage
Bon appetit!
