Ground meat – 500 grams
Split peas – 1.5 cups
Eggs – 2
Brewed saffron – as needed
Water – 2 cups
Oil for frying
Salt and black pepper – as needed
To prepare Shami Kebab Tabrizi, first wash the split peas and soak them in water for about an hour to soften. After soaking, drain them and cook with 2 cups of water and a bit of salt until fully cooked. Once done, drain and mash the split peas using any tool available.
Now add the ground meat, brewed saffron, and spices to the mashed split peas and mix well. Finally, crack in the eggs and mix thoroughly until the mixture becomes uniform and cohesive.
In a frying pan, heat up some oil. Take a small portion of the Shami mixture (about the size of a small tangerine), shape it into a round or oval patty in your hand, and gently place it in the hot oil.
Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture, frying both sides of each patty until golden. Once cooked, transfer the kebabs onto paper towels to remove excess oil.
Finally, you can fry some potatoes and tomatoes on the side and serve everything together with fresh bread. Enjoy your meal!
It’s best to use a mix of lamb and beef for the ground meat.
For a firmer consistency, you can add a little wheat flour or breadcrumbs to the mixture.
For extra aroma and flavor, consider adding 1–2 grated garlic cloves to the mixture.
You can also prepare a tasty sauce on the side using tomato paste, fried onions, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
