Lula Kebab, Meat Dolma, and Pita-Style Flatbread are just a few of our favorite Armenian Foods!
In case you haven’t caught on by now, I’m a proud (partially) Armenian who loves delicious Armenian foods. This Lula Kebab recipe is one I think everyone will love.
I'm sharing my version of my family's Lula Kebab recipe, not only so you guys can make it, but so I can document it. Of course, each family (and Armenian restaurant) has a slightly different version. After you've mastered the basic mix, you can make it your own too.
What is Lula Kebab?
Lula Kebab (or Lulu Kabob, or Lule or Lyulya) is a key component of Armenian diets. Lula Kebab is a blend of ground beef and lamb (or all lamb in some cases), onion, seasonings and fresh herbs. It is cooked on skewers and served alongside pilaf and salad, and also used to stuff peppers + vegetables and fill meat dolma. Sadly, if you don't have a Hye Deli (Hye means Armenian) or Mediterranean meat counter near you, you probably can't find it. And that's OK, because you can make it pretty easily.
Where was Lula Kebab popularized?
It is a specialty of Armenian and other South Caucasus, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian cuisines.
What is typically in Lula Kebab?
Ground beef and lamb (or all lamb, in certain circumstances) is blended with onions, spices, and fresh herbs to make Lula Kebab.
