    Combine the ground beef, ground lamb, garlic, salt, black pepper, and water in a bowl. Knead until the mixture becomes sticky and well bound.

    Shape the mixture into short, even sausages with damp hands.

  4. 04

    Cook the sausages on a hot grill or grill pan, turning often, until browned on all sides and 71°C (160°F) at the center.

    Warm the somun bread until soft and lightly toasted.

  6. 06
