150g sliced turkey breast
2 tablespoons of cottage cheese
1 cauliflower
salt to taste
Method of preparation
In a large pot, cook the whole cauliflower until soft, but don’t let it fall apart, as the recipe calls for it to finish in the oven.
Roll up the cheese and turkey breast and then cut into thin strips, add the pieces between the spaces of the cauliflower.
Top the cauliflower with cottage cheese and a few pinches of salt.
Place in a preheated oven at 220ºC and bake for 15 minutes.
- Kafta
Ingredients
1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 tablespoon of chopped mint
1 teaspoon of minced garlic
1 teaspoon Syrian pepper
1 tablespoon of oil
2 teaspoons of salt
500g of minced meat
Method of preparation
In a bowl, place the minced meat and spices, mix well.
Cover with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest in the fridge for 5 minutes, so that the ingredients stick to the meat.
Then cover the barbecue sticks with the mixture.
Heat the grill or a frying pan with a drizzle of oil and place the meat sticks to brown.
The preparation must be according to personal taste about the point of the meat. For a rare point, leave the heat on high and wait for it to brown on the outside. For a well done point, lower the heat and turn the sticks frequently. That way the cooking will be uniform.
