Skillet Ground Meat Kebabs (Kofta)

No one can resist these! Wildly tasty, simple, and very quick. Traditional kebabs — or kofta, ground-meat kebabs — are a highlight of Turkish cuisine, usually made from very fresh young lamb or veal. The recipe is easygoing: you can cook them in a skillet, in the oven, under the broiler, on a grill pan, or over live coals.

  • Rinse the veal, trim off the sinew, and run it through a meat grinder twice along with half of the fat-tail suet. Finely chop the onion and mix it into the veal. Season with salt, pepper, your favorite dried spices, and chopped fresh herbs (dill, parsley). Mix well, then knead and slap the mixture around: take it in your hands, work it, and throw it down into the bowl with force. The longer you do this (about twenty minutes is ideal), the better the result. The point is to keep the meat from sliding off the skewers as it cooks — kneaded and slapped this way, it becomes stickier and more cohesive. Now chill the bowl of meat in the refrigerator for forty minutes. Pour cold water into a separate bowl and add a splash of vinegar — this is for wetting your hands. Dampen your hands in the vinegar water, shape the meat into oblong logs no longer than 6 inches (15 cm), and thread them onto wooden skewers. If you're cooking in the kitchen rather than over coals outdoors, simply fry the logs in an oiled skillet. When they're done, garnish with pomegranate seeds, fresh herbs, and dried barberries.
