Kebapche
Also known as: Кебапче
Bulgarian grilled pork-and-beef kebabs seasoned with cumin and black pepper.
About Kebapche
Kebapche is a Bulgarian grilled minced-meat kebab shaped into a long cylinder. This profile follows a pork-and-beef version seasoned simply with salt, black pepper and cumin, with water worked into the mixture for moisture.
Pork supplies richness while beef gives the kebab a deeper savoury character. Cumin is the defining warm, earthy spice, with black pepper adding a direct peppery lift and charcoal browning intensifying the meat.
Each kebapche is narrow and elongated, with a dark brown, lightly charred exterior and a compact but juicy centre. It is served hot, commonly alongside salad, potatoes or pepper relish rather than enclosed in bread.

Origins & food traditions
The Food Kooky supplies the complete Bulgarian pork-and-beef kebapcheta recipe selected here, including salt, black pepper, cumin, water and oil for the grill.
