Jerusalem mixed grill (Hebrew:מעורב ירושלמי,romanized: me'orav Yerushalmi) is a grilled meat dish considered a specialty ofJerusalem. It consists ofchicken hearts, spleens and liver mixed with bits of lamb cooked on a flat grill, seasoned with onion, garlic, black pepper, cumin,turmeric,olive oil andcoriander.[1]
The dish is said to have been invented at theMahane Yehuda Market, with various restaurants claiming to be the originators.
In 2009, Israeli chefs created a giant portion that weighed in at 440 pounds (200 kilos), winning aGuinness world record for the largest Jerusalem mixed grill. They also prepared the world's smallest dish: Jerusalem mixed grill in apita the size of a coin.[2]
According to the lateHaaretz food criticDaniel Rogov, world-renowned chefs have pleaded with one of the steakhouses, Sima, for the recipe, which includes a secret ingredient described as "Georgian pepper".[1]
A variation of the dish may have the meorav Yerushalmi thinly chopped and then rolled intophyllo cigars which are then fried; it is common to serve meorav Yerushalmi that way at weddings.
