Preparation Steps
First, wash the herbs thoroughly and chop them finely. Then, place them in a pan and set over medium heat until their water evaporates. After adding a little oil and frying the herbs, let them cool down. Next, grate two onions and mix them with the ground meat, fried herbs, and necessary spices. Knead the mixture well until it becomes uniform.
Take about two tablespoons of the prepared mixture and shape it into round or oval forms. Then, fry the shamis in a pan that has been preheated with oil.
