Kebapi
Also known as: Ќебапи
Macedonian kebapi are grilled fingers of beef, pork and lamb with onion, garlic and spices.
About Kebapi
Macedonian kebapi are small, sausage-shaped portions of seasoned meat with a browned grilled exterior. Katerina Petrovska’s three-meat rendition combines beef, pork and lamb with onion, garlic and parsley.
Paprika, cayenne and red pepper flakes give the meat a warm, peppery flavour. The mixture has a juicy interior beneath its browned surface, with the different meats contributing a rich, savoury character.
Chopped onion and a paprika mixture can accompany the kebapi. Yogurt sauce, roasted-pepper ajvar, a chopped vegetable salad or pita bread offer additional ways to serve the grilled meat.
