Mix the ingredients thoroughly with your hands until well combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the sheftalia tough.

Lay out a piece of caul fat. Place a shaped meat mixture onto the caul fat and wrap it snugly, tucking in the ends to create a neat parcel. Repeat with the remaining mixture and caul fat.

Serve hot, typically with pita bread, salad, and lemon wedges.
💡 Consigli Professionali

- ✓For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cumin or a small amount of garlic to the meat mixture.
- ✓Ensure the caul fat is well-rinsed to remove any impurities.
