Kebab 346X318
  • 750g boneless lamb loins or shoulder
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 235ml Turkish/Greek style full fat yoghurt
  • 120ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 ripe plum tomatoes
  • 3 red peppers
  • 3 green peppers
  • 4 onions
  • 6 pitta breads
  • 2 tbsp ground sumac (Middle Eastern spice), optional

Instructions

Amazing Turkish lamb kebabs from your barbecue. Invite some friends and enjoy.

In the kitchen:
  • Cut the meat into 2cm cubes.
  • Peel the garlic cloves and crush them. Combine in a bowl with the yoghurt, olive oil, chilli flakes, salt, and black pepper. 
  • Add the lamb cubes to the yoghurt and mix thoroughly. Cover the bowl and let the lamb marinate in the fridge for 6 hours, stirring once or twice.
  • After marinating, remove the lamb and discard the yoghurt marinade. 
  • Wash the tomatoes and peppers and remove the stems and seeds. Cut the peppers into 2cm squares. Peel the onions and cut into quarters. 
  • Thread them on skewers in the following order: red pepper, onion, meat, tomato and green pepper. Repeat to the end of the skewer.
At the barbecue:
  • Set up the barbecue for direct heat, approx. 220˚C.
  • When the barbecue is preheated, oil the grate and arrange all of the kebabs on the hot grate. Close the lid. Turn the kebabs after 6 minutes of cooking. Let them cook until the skins on the vegetables are blistered and browned. It takes 8-12 minutes for the lamb to cook through.
  • Take the skewers off the barbecue. Remove the meat and vegetables from the skewers and present them in a serving dish. Serve immediately with pitta breads and sumac on top.
