Ingredients:
- 500 grams of thinly sliced lamb intestines (cleaned and prepared)
- 500 grams of lamb or beef liver (thinly sliced)
- 2 large onions (thinly sliced)
- 4 cloves of garlic (crushed)
- Half a bunch of parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of cumin
- Salt
- Olive oil or butter (for frying)
- Lemon slices (for serving)
- Fresh bread or lavash (for serving)
Preparation:
- Preparing the Intestines: The first step is to prepare the lamb intestines. Wash them thoroughly and clean the inside carefully. Soaking them in a mixture of water and salt and then rinsing them under running water is essential. Cut the prepared intestines into thin rings.
- Preparing the Liver and Onions: Slice the lamb or beef liver into thin slices. Thinly slice or grate the onions. Crush the garlic cloves and finely chop the parsley.
- Preparing the Liver Mixture: In a bowl, combine the sliced liver, thinly sliced onions, crushed garlic, chopped parsley, red pepper flakes, black pepper, cumin, and salt. Mix all the ingredients well and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to blend.
- Cooking Process: After marinating, heat olive oil or butter in a pan. Add the liver mixture to the pan and sauté over medium heat. Continue cooking until the liver is cooked through and the onions are softened.
- Adding the Intestines: Once the liver mixture is cooked, add the prepared lamb intestines to the pan. Stir everything together and cook until the intestines are softened. Adjust the seasoning by adding salt and spices according to your taste.
- Serving: Transfer the cooked kokoreç to a serving plate while it’s still hot. Serve with lemon slices and fresh bread or lavash.
