👨🍳 步骤
- 1
准备香料:将红甜椒和黄洋葱切成细末。为了达到最佳效果,可以将它们放入食品加工机中打成细碎。将切碎的蔬菜转移到细网筛或奶酪布中,用力挤压,去除尽可能多的水分。多余的水分会导致烤串散开。
⏱️ 20 minutes - 2
混合肉馅:在一个大碗中,混合羊肉末、切碎的羊尾油、挤干水分的红甜椒和洋葱、阿勒颇辣椒、盐和黑胡椒(如果使用)。如果加入欧芹,现在就混合进去。
⏱️ 15 minutes - 3
揉捏肉馅:用手彻底揉捏肉馅约3-5分钟。目标是制作出粘稠、略有粘性的肉糊,能够保持形状。避免过度搅拌,以免肉质变硬。
⏱️ 10 minutes - 4
冷藏肉馅:盖上碗,将肉馅放入冰箱冷藏至少30分钟,最多2小时。这有助于风味融合,并使肉馅更容易处理。

塑形烤串:将冷藏好的肉馅分成4等份。双手沾少量水以防粘连。取一份肉馅,将其紧实均匀地塑形在宽而扁的金属串上(这是Adana烤串的传统做法)。目标厚度约为1-1.5厘米(0.5英寸)。用拇指和食指在烤串上压出浅浅的纹路,以确保均匀受热和美观。
⏱️ 10-15 minutes - 6
准备烧烤:将烤架预热至中高温(约200-230°C或400-450°F)。如果使用烤盘,则用中高火加热。在烤架格栅或烤盘上轻轻涂抹少许油以防粘连。

💡 专业技巧
- ✓确保红甜椒和洋葱的水分已充分沥干;这对烤串的结构至关重要。
- ✓使用脂肪含量高的肉(约20-25%)可获得最嫩多汁的口感。如果羊肉太瘦,则加入切碎的羊尾油。
- ✓在塑形烤串时,定期沾湿双手可以防止肉馅粘连。
- ✓不要让烤架过于拥挤;如有必要,分批烹饪以保持恒定的热量。
- ✓为了获得更地道的风味,如果可能,请使用炭火烧烤。
