How to Make Adana Kebab

Adana kebab is spicy minced meat from Turkey named after Adana, the fifth largest city in
Turkey.

Ingredients
(Makes four patties which are 20 centimeter
(7.9 in) x 5 cm (8" x 2"))
● 500-700g (around 1 1/4 lb.)
ground/minced meat; traditionally this
dish is made with lamb meat mixed
with fat (preferably from the lamb tail) in
proportion of 1:5; you can also use half
beef, half mutton or just beef
● 1 onion
● 1 red sweet pepper (or substitute dried
red pepper flakes for a more
traditional and spicier variation)
● 1/2 tbsp. coriander
● 1/2 tbsp. cumin
● 1 tbsp. butter
● 1 tbsp. biber (Turkish red pepper paste)
● A little bit of olive oil
● Salt and pepper
Notes:
✔ It is better to add not enough salt than too much salt. You can always add more lately.
Steps
1. Put the minced meat in a bowl.
2. Cut the butter and the onion into small
pieces and add them to the minced
meat. Add also the coriander, cumin and
biber.
3. Cut the sweet pepper into a few big
chunks and use an immersion blender to
puree the sweet pepper. If you have no
immersion blender you can also cut the
sweet pepper into very small pieces.
4. Add the puree to the minced meat.
5. Add salt and pepper.
6. Knead the minced meat.
7. Divide the minced meat into four
equal sized, rectangle shaped
kebabs.
8. Cover the kebabs with olive oil.
9. Grill the kebabs in an oven, electric
indoor grill or on an outdoor grill. With
the oven it takes about 15 minutes,
with an electric indoor grill it takes
about 5 minutes.
10.Serve the kebab.

✔ How spicy this dish is depends on how much biber you add to it. If you like spicy
food, you can add more and/or substitute red pepper flakes instead of red sweet
pepper.

 Once upon a time, in a forest, all the hares held
a meeting. As we know, hares are scared even the
tiniest sounds. But this time, in this forest they were
being hunted by men and animals alike.
The hares ran from one place to another in
search for shelter. Tired of running, they called for a
meeting with the elders. All of them met under a tree.
They decided to discuss their fate. In the meeting, it
was understood that all of them lacked the means to
protect themselves. Hares felt helpless because they
did not have sharp teeth or sharp claws. “We’re
helpless” they cried. So, in the meeting, they decided to end their lives. There was no other
way, they could not live their entire lives hiding!
All of the hares then decided to commit mass suicide at the nearby pool of water. The
next morning, they went to the pool to commit mass suicide. As they approached the pool,
they saw a troop of frogs were living there. They kept moving to kill themselves ignoring
the frogs. But when the frogs heard many hares approaching them at once, they were
afraid. Then, they jumped into the pool to hide.
“Look” one of the hares announced pointing at the scared frogs. “Let’s call off our
decision to commit mass suicide. Things really aren’t that bad for us. Look there are
creatures that are actually afraid of us!” The hares then went back, happier than ever and
lived peacefully and optimistically.

 Try Everything
By Shakira

...
I messed up tonight, I lost another fight
Lost to myself, but I'll just start again
I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground
I always get up now, see what's next
Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up
Nobody learns without gettin' it wrong
I won't give up, no, I won't give in
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
...
Look how far you've come, you filled your heart
with love
Baby, you've done enough, take a deep breath
Don't beat yourself up, no need to run so fast
Sometimes we come last, but we did our best
I won't give up, no, I won't give in
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
