Lula kebab from red fish
4 servings
45 minutes
Lula kebab made from red fish is a refined dish inspired by Eastern traditions but adapted for Russian cuisine. Its tender texture is achieved by combining fish mince, bread softened in milk, and boiled rice. Aromatic spices like nutmeg and basil add a light spiciness to the dish, while the added green onions refresh the taste. Grilling over coals gives the lula kebab an appetizing crust and a slight smoky flavor. It can be baked in foil for juiciness or cooked in the oven if grilling isn't possible. Red fish lula kebab pairs perfectly with vegetables, light sauces, and fresh herbs, creating a harmonious and nutritious treat for festive gatherings or cozy family dinners.
