I mean basically it's this one here.

Ingredients

  • 2 onion (diced)
  • 2 pack of streaky bacon (finely diced)
  • 1000g of fatty beef mince (I used Sainsburys 20% fat stuff). (Lamb works too, fattier the better).

For the spice mix:

  • 2tsp Garlic paste (I used this stuff)
  • 2tsp Ginger paste (I used KTCs again)
  • 2tsp Dried Oregano
  • 4tsp Ground cumin
  • 4tsp Ground corriander
  • 1tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 6tsp Salt
  • 2tsp Black pepper

Method

Puree all the ingredients into a meat paste. I don't have a food processor so I used a hand imersion blender and patience.... (I expect my hand blender wont survive much more though. )... A food processor would be better as it lets you get the meat finer...

Next overlap 2 pieces of foil (or buy a roll of turkey foil as that's much easier. ) to create a nice long strip.... dollop the meat onto the foil and roll it into a sausage. Once tight, twist the ends to tighten it.

(I had a couple of layers, I also rolled it in cling film to get it nice and tight, and left that in the fridge over night to sit. I did remove the clingfilm prior to cooking though).

I then cooked it for a good hour at 110, but I'm not sure it helped. Did another half an hour at 170 before serving... Basically check it's over 70 with a thermomiter, Mine was well into the 80s when I took it out.

Then up the oven to 250 and give it another 15 minutes to brown.

Pop it out, let it cool a bit so you can handle it, then slice....

Fry the slices in a pan to give it the final touch.

Put in face.

(So, I didn't bother with all the faf of skewers too, I just cooked it in a roasting tin with a wire rack in to keep it off the bottom of the pan).
