Postup
Krok za krokem
- 1
Ensure the lamb intestines are thoroughly cleaned by rinsing them under cold running water, then soaking them in salted water for at least 30 minutes, changing the water several times.
Přibližně 30 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Proper cleaning of intestines is crucial for flavor and hygiene.
- 2
In a large bowl, combine the lamb liver, heart, kidney, and sweetbreads (if using).
- 3
Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the offal. Mix well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the seasonings.
Přibližně 5 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Use your hands for the best mixing.
- 4
Thread the seasoned offal pieces onto a long skewer, alternating between the different types of offal to create an even log shape. Pack them tightly together.
Přibližně 15 min
Poznámka kuchaře: A metal skewer about 30-40 cm long works best for this.
- 5
Carefully begin to wrap the prepared lamb intestine around the offal on the skewer. Start at one end, securing the intestine, and then wrap it tightly and evenly along the entire length of the skewer, covering all the offal.
Přibližně 10 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure there are no gaps and the intestine is wrapped snugly to hold the offal together during cooking.
- 6
Secure the ends of the intestine to prevent unraveling. You can tie them off or tuck them under previous wraps.
- 7
Prepare your grill for indirect cooking over medium-low heat (about 150-180°C or 300-350°F). If using charcoal, arrange coals to one side.
Přibližně 15 min
Poznámka kuchaře: A rotisserie attachment for your grill is ideal for even cooking.
- 8
Place the skewer on the grill, ideally on a rotisserie, or turn frequently if cooking directly on the grates. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the kokoretsi is deeply browned and cooked through, with the intestines becoming crispy.
Přibližně 3 h
Poznámka kuchaře: The internal temperature should reach at least 70°C (160°F).
- 9
Remove the kokoretsi from the grill and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving.
Přibližně 15 min
Poznámka kuchaře: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender.

Slice the kokoretsi into thick rounds or chop it into smaller pieces. Serve hot with lemon wedges.
