Kyufta-kebab with pickled cabbage - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use different types of nuts for the spice mix?

Yes, you can substitute the nuts with your preferred type, such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans. Just ensure they are roasted for the best flavor.

What can I use instead of breadcrumbs in the Kyufta?

If you're looking for a gluten-free alternative to breadcrumbs, try using almond flour or ground oats as a binder for the minced meat.

How long can I store leftover Kyufta-kebab?

Leftover Kyufta-kebab can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.

Can I freeze the Kyufta-kebabs before or after cooking?

Yes, both options work. To freeze before cooking, shape the mixture onto skewers and freeze on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe bag. To freeze after cooking, allow the kebabs to cool completely before freezing. Thaw completely before reheating.

What's a good vegetarian substitute for the meat in this recipe?

You can use a mix of lentils, finely chopped mushrooms, and walnuts as a base. Bind it with breadcrumbs (or a gluten-free alternative) and spices to create vegetarian kebabs.

How can I make the pickled cabbage less sour?

Reduce the amount of vinegar used in the pickling process and consider adding a touch more sugar to balance the flavors.

What's a good sauce pairing besides chili sauce?

Consider a creamy tzatziki sauce or a tangy tahini sauce. These add a refreshing element that complements the kebabs and pickled cabbage nicely.
