You can thread more than just vegetables and pieces of meat onto the skewers. Kebakos are a good example of that.
Sometime at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, a ready-made food sold under the name kabakko appeared in stores. Kebakko is an oblong meatloaf made of minced meat and served on a stick.
But as you might expect, kebakos are really, really delicious even when you make them yourself. They can be cooked either in a pan, in the oven or on the grill.
Kebakko is a combination of Finnish meatloaf and Turkish kebab.
In addition to minced meat, you can make tasty kebakko dough from, for example, fish. Ask the fishmonger to grind the fish, or you can grind it yourself in a meat grinder or blender.
When you add breadcrumbs or breadcrumbs to the dough for fish kebabs, you get them tastier and they stay on the skewers better.
You should also try minced chicken or turkey.
Season the kebakko dough with a relaxed wrist and enjoy. You can also eat ready-made kebakos as a filling for pita bread or hodari.
