Introduction

Let’s make some products from low-value items that Tasterrific!

In the Spar compound in Lagos, I share a large, spacious three-bedroom apartment with a Lebanese Chef, Bashir. He recently went to Lebanon to visit his family and he shared products with me! It’s a product we can make TODAY!

A. Chef Bashir’s Lebanese Kabab’s

Bashir wrote from Lebanon that the minced beef is a mix of sirloin and ribeye steak “half, half,” seasoned with:

  • finely well-chopped onion,
  • salt and
  • black pepper.

Packaging and display

Vacuum pack or overwrap and also sell from baymarines.

B. Chef Bashir’s Lebanese Chekaf (cubes with fat cubes)

  • used sirloin
  • mixed with tenderloin and
  • lamb fat

Prepare onion with spices

  • grate half and onion
  • salt and black pepper in a bowl with any kind of oil.
  • mixed well.

Then, mix this with the beef and fat and thread onto a skewer.

Packaging and display

Overwrap or vacuum pack. Also, sell from baymarines.

Just before Christmas of 2021, I came across Milen’s beef heart pastrami.

C. From Sofia in Bulgaria: Milen’s Beef Heart Pastrami

Milen Nenchev’s recipe:

Controlled salting for 10-12 days. The right amount of spices for 1000 grams

  • 5 grams of conifer
