00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000 Iskender 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,000 Welcome to Mutevazi Lezzetler Cuisine! 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,600 at this episode, we are sharing the recipe of my favorite kebap, "Iskender" 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,600 let's see the ingredients list 00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,320 4 flat breads (pide) 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,600 1,10 pounds of calf meat 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,120 1 pepper 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,320 1 onion 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,880 2 tbsp tomato paste 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,280 4 tbsp yogurt 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,280 8 tbsp bulgur pilaf 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,560 1 + 1/2 or 2 tbsp butter 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,120 4 tbsp vegetable oil 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:42,680 salt 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,080 and black pepper 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,360 I'm starting by slicing the meat into thin pieces 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:57,720 the meat must be whole piece, it must be boneless 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,320 it may be round meat, the important point is that it must be boneless... 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,640 and it must low-fat 00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:15,280 it is easier to slice the meat after freezing it partially 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,400 by this way, I'll be slicing it 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:31,480 the meat is sliced, it is time for onion to cut into small pieces 00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:42,240 as you know, to have a sharp knife is the most important requirement of a well done slicing process 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,400 I'm slicing by this way 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,880 it is sliced, I'll be cutting the pepper into small pieces also 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:59,920 I must emphasize that, after slicing the meat, you should change your chopping board 00:01:59,920 --> 00:02:01,840 or you should wash it 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,080 by this way we do not let the microorganisms to pass the vegetables 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:11,000 I've washed the board before starting the cut the vegetables 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:23,320 I've cut the onion and pepper, now it is time for cooking 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,600 I let the skillet turn to hot firstly 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,760 then I'm adding the oil 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,240 I'm adding 2 tbsp of vegetable oil into the skillet 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,440 2 tbsp of the 4 tbsp mentioned in the ingredients' list 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,520 I'm waiting for a while to make the oil turn into hot 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:51,360 and I'm adding the cut ingredients into the skillet respectively 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,360 I'm adding the onion firstly, then the pepper immediately 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,400 and the thin meat slices 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,680 the heat must be high level 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,240 as you know that, the heat must be high while cooking meat 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:30,760 the meat has given its broth, now I'm adding the salt and black pepper 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,440 the meat is soaking the broth now 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:49,400 I'm grinding some black pepper to keep its fresh smell and taste 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,640 I'm adding the black pepper firstly 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,080 and just then, I'm adding some salt, I do not give a measure for the salt... 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,080 because it depends upon to your taste 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,960 I'm keeping on frying it 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,480 the meat slices are fried 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:18,200 now we have 2 small processes before serving it 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,960 I'm placing it aside... 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,040 we have 2 tbsp of tomato paste... 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:35,000 I'm placing the tomato paste into the skillet and I'm adding 1 cup of water... 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,280 it was not mentioned in ingredients list and some salt 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,160 I'll boil it just a lit bit more after it reaches the boiling temperature 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,280 I'll use it later, during the service 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,360 the sauce has reached the right consistency 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,600 it has boiled a little bit more after it reaches the boiling temperature 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,000 I want to show it, now I'm placing the sauce aside 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:02,360 the final process is preparing the oil that we will pour all over 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,800 it was mentioned that 4 tbsp of vegetable oil in the ingredients' list 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:11,480 we have already used 2 of that, now I'm using the remaining two 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:15,880 actually if you use butter instead of vegetable oil 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,120 but we are mixing them to make the meal more healthy 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,040 all the parts of the iskender kebap is ready right now 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,160 now it is time to serve it 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,160 I'm slicing the flat bread breads... 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,000 which are called as "pide" in Turkish 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,880 I'm slicing them into square shaped pieces 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,960 yes it is done, now I'm placing these pieces into a platter... 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,880 it is the traditional service plate of iskender kebap... 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,960 I'm flattening it 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:20,560 after placing the pide pieces, I'm placing 2 tbsp of bulgur pilaf for each portion 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,320 there is no need to give the recipe of the bulgur pilaf 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,320 but if you desire it, we can share naturally 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,360 I'm placing 1 tbsp of yogurt onto the other side 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:43,520 I'm placing the fried meat slices onto the pide pieces 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,760 we have prepared this kebap for 4 portion 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:59,640 so I should divide the ingredients into 4 pieces 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,960 I'm pouring the cooked tomato paste mixture all over 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400 and finally the oil, it gives a great taste 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,840 but the ones who have a cholesterol problem may not add it 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,400 I'm pouring some all over 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,560 and you may place some tomato slices, pepper, pickle... 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,840 or parsley whatever you have as a garniture 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,760 we are garnishing by this way 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,640 the kebap is ready to serve and seems really
