Jerusalem mixed grill ( Hebrew : ????? ??????? ) ( me'orav Yerushalmi ) is a grilled meat dish considered a specialty of Jerusalem . It consists of chicken hearts , spleens and liver mixed with bits of lamb cooked on a flat grill, seasoned with onion, garlic, black pepper, cumin, turmeric , olive oil and coriander . [1]

The dish is said to have been invented at the Mahane 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 a Guinness world record for the largest Jerusalem mixed grill. They also prepared the world's smallest dish: Jerusalem mixed grill in a pita the size of a coin. [2]

According to the late Haaretz food critic Daniel Rogov , world-renowned chefs have pleaded with one of the steakhouses, Sima, [3] 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 into a phyllo shaped cigars which is then fried, it is common to serve Meorav Yerushalmi that way in weddings.
