Adana Kebabs

A popular Turkish kebab is made from ground lamb.  This version is based on a recipe in Turkish Delights.  I found that it did not stick together well on our Turkish skewers, so I grilled it with out them.  It had a tendency to stick to the grill.  Possibly I should have chopped it more Read More …

Pineapple and Mussel Curry
