Jerusalem mixed grill

Jerusalem mixed grill is a cherished dish originating from Jerusalem, renowned for its savory blend of chicken hearts, spleens, liver, and lamb morsels, all cooked to perfection on a flat grill. The meat is seasoned with a delightful mix of spices including onion, garlic, black pepper, cumin, turmeric, olive oil, and coriander, resulting in a mouthwatering culinary experience.

This delectable dish is believed to have its origins in the bustling Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem, where numerous eateries compete for the distinction of its original creator. In 2009, Israeli chefs made history by setting a Guinness World Record for the largest Jerusalem mixed grill, which tipped the scales at an impressive 440 pounds (200 kilos). They also created the tiniest version, served in a pita no larger than a coin!

A unique twist to this dish is the secret ingredient known as "Georgian pepper" highly valued by chefs, as noted by the late food critic Daniel Rogov of Haaretz. This special touch adds an extra depth of flavor that keeps enthusiasts coming back for more.
