Recipe
Ingredients
- Minced lamb
- Firm loquats
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- A rare kebab made only during a short spring season. Select slightly underripe, firm loquats, halve them lengthwise, and remove the seeds cleanly. Knead minced lamb with only salt and black pepper to form small meatballs, and stuff them into the hollows of the loquats, pressing the halves back together. Skewer them and grill slowly over charcoal. The heat turns the tartness of the loquats into a mellow sweetness, perfectly fusing the meat fat and fruit juices.
