Instructions

1. Prepare the kebab meat

  1. In a food processor, combine the chicken, ground beef, fat, onions, garlic, chili pepper and parsley. Mix until you obtain a coarse paste.
  2. Add the spices (pepper, paprika, nutmeg, salt and broth) and olive oil to the meat mixture. Mix well.
  3. Place a sheet of parchment paper on a flat surface and brush it with olive oil.
  4. Spread the meat mixture on the paper in a thin, even layer.
  5. Roll the meat tightly in the parchment paper to form a sausage.
  6. Place the meat rolls in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Steam for 25 to 30 minutes.

2. Assemble and grill the kebab

  1. Once steamed, remove the meat from the paper and cut it into thin strips.
  2. Briefly sauté the strips of meat in a pan with a little olive oil to give them a golden and crispy appearance.
  3. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the tomato puree, harissa, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  4. Open the kebab bun and spread the mayonnaise and ketchup inside.
  5. Garnish the bread with the sautéed strips of meat, fries and fresh salad.
  6. Brush the outside of the bread with the prepared tomato-harissa sauce.
  7. Grill the assembled kebab in a pan or sandwich press for a few minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy.
