Iskender Kebab

This sounds delicious! Now I'm almost sorry we're eating out with my

folks for Mom's 86th birthday!

Oh, wait... the recipe DOES say make the kebab mix a day ahead, so if I

get the meat out to defrost now, I can mix it up tonight or tomorrow, and

have it later in the week... hmm.... but I really WAS going to try for a

different gyro recipe this week, and... well, DRAT!

You know what the REAL problem with SCD is? Too darned much GOOD food!

I've been tempted to wallop non-SCDers who pity me for my

" limitations. "

Wow, this sounds great!! Thanks for sharing!! Donna O'Connor alexanderkparents1818 wrote: Hi guys- my husband wanted me to post this recipe. It is his own SCD adaptation and he is very proud. Our 2 kids love it as well as a neighbor boy who is 6 who we were babysitting 1 night who said it was "awesome"We went out to a Turkish restaurant and ordered this super kebab dish, I adapted it to fit SCD. The

traditional recipe calls for adding beef tenderloin, but I use only ground beef. It turns out great and tastes like real restaurant gyros from the rotisserie! Our young kids just love them, we serve with a vegetable on the side and no one misses the pita bread.Iskender KebabKebab Meat:(Make 1 day ahead)1.5 lbs hamburger.1 Medium OnionSalt to tasteApprox. 2 TBSP Dried ParselyPepper to tasteGarnish:1 Cup legal tomato paste heated up with a few TBS water (or use canned crushed tomatoes)SCD legal Yogurt.2 TBS Butter (optional)Place one medium onion in a food processor and chop it very fine until it turns almost into a paste. Now add the hamburger, salt, pepper and parsely into the food processor with the onion. Mix until meat is finely ground. Form the meat into logs like the shape of a small salami and place on a large piece of plastic wrap. Roll the meat up in plastic

wrap and place in the freezer overnight.The next day take the meat out about 30 min. before cutting. Use a knife or electric knife to shred the meat, slice as thin as you can. Fry the pieces in a (preferably cast iron) frying pan on medium heat. They cook very quickly.Spread out the meat on a plate. Mix the (optional) butter with the warm tomato sauce and pour on top. Place a few spoons of yogurt on the side. Serve while still hot.EnjoyMother to almost 4Immature digestive system due to in-utero strokeSCD since 10/07and 23 months SCD tag along
