What is kebapche?

KEBAPCHE is a Bulgarian meal usually made of meat such as beef and pork. It is usually and traditionally grilled and is not fried, like many meat. Some people say that food consistency is very similar to meat consistency, but its appearance is like Spanish "chorizo" or sausage. Kebapche is a foundation food at many parties and celebrations and is said to behave well with a glass of beer. The suffix "che" means "small", so the name of the bowl is literally translated as "Little Kebab". A mass bowl can be a Bulgarian favorite, but its origin is from another culture, although it is uncertain. Some historians think it could come from the Turkish Empire, the Ottoman Empire, in the 14th century, because Bulgaria was one of the many countries of the Dobyl Empire. Food has also achieved several countries in the southeastern region of Europe, similarly to Greece, Italy and Hungary. The food gradually returned to popularity and began to sell in government restaurants. Since then, food has become an important part of Bulgarian cuisine.

KEBAPCHE is usually made from a combination of different meats, usually beef and pork, but can also include mutton and veal. Most, not all, cooks prefer the meat to be ground so that various meat can mix well together, along with common spices such as salt, pepper and cumin. Some chefs prefer to add some finely chopped or grated onions to add more happy and sweetness, because some of their own meat juices will be lost during the cooking process. Many recipes of suggesmary ingredients leave for several hours or overnight to absorb all spices, which is more likely.

When raw meat is ready, it is divided into small pieces that are shaped cylindrical, like hotdogs. The pieces are then grilled at medium to high temperature until they are brown and some striped "barbecue marks" are formed on the surface. Traditional recipeThey insist on cooking kebapche only by grilling, not in any other way of cooking, such as frying or baking. Kebapche is never served individually, but usually threes or "kebapchet" in plural. A small amount of tomato sauce, cheese or crispy chips on the side complements the bowl.
