Qebapa Kosovar
Juicy, grilled minced meat skewers, a staple of Kosovar cuisine, typically served with onions, ajvar, and flatbread.
🧂 Ingrediente
- 500 g Ground beef
- 250 g Ground lamb
- 1 medium Onion(finely grated or minced)
- 2 cloves Garlic(minced)
- 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
- 50 ml Sparkling water(optional, for juiciness)
👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
- 2
If using, gradually add sparkling water while mixing to achieve a slightly sticky and cohesive mixture. This helps in forming the qebapa and keeping them juicy.
- 3
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the mixture to firm up.
- 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates.
- 5
Shape the meat mixture into small, finger-sized sausages (about 2-3 inches long and 1 inch thick). You can wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
- 6
Grill the qebapa for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the grill.
- 7
Serve hot, typically with chopped raw onions, ajvar, and warm flatbread (somun).
💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste

- ✓Grating the onion instead of mincing helps it to incorporate better and release its moisture.
- ✓Allowing the mixture to rest in the refrigerator is crucial for flavor development and easier shaping.
