Rules for cooking lula kebab in the oven
- Kebabs are not made from minced meat. The dish uses exclusively minced (!) meat. The pieces should be very small and equal in size. This can be achieved by armed with two sharp knives.
- During the chopping process, the mass does not become liquid, unlike minced meat prepared in a meat grinder. Therefore, it is possible to make elastic sausages that do not fall off the skewers.
- To make the mass sticky, fat tail fat is added. It is allocated at least ¼ of the total meat volume. However, if you want to achieve a dish that is not too fatty, add a little less of this ingredient.
- Fat tail fat for lula kebab is rare. When cooking at home, it is replaced with lard. In the oven the dish turns out no less spicy.
- Lula kebab, or rather its recipe includes a lot of onions. During the process of simmering in the oven, the vegetable releases juice, which gives the meat tenderness and flavor. It would also be a good idea to add herbs (parsley, dill, cilantro, etc.).
- Once the meat is chopped, it needs to be processed. To this end, toss the composition so that it falls onto the work surface. Beating is carried out for 10 minutes, this is necessary to make the base sticky.
- The traditional recipe uses lamb, but it is difficult to find. In addition, meat is quite expensive. It is replaced by high-fat pork, beef and even turkey and chicken.
- To ensure that the sausages cook evenly, they are cooked on a wire rack. Of course, you can also use a baking sheet. The main thing is to turn the kebabs over as the sides brown.

- The meat mass must be well kneaded and beaten. At this time, the minced meat is enriched with oxygen, and the protein binds to the liquid.
- Before baking lula kebab on skewers in the oven, the minced meat should be well cooled and the wooden sticks should be soaked in water for two hours. To make it easier to thread the meat mass onto skewers, it is recommended to wet your hands in warm water each time.
