Recipe
Kebab
Grilled meat with flatbread, salad and sauce.
Ingredients
- 600 g sliced lamb or chicken
- Yogurt
- Garlic
- Cumin and paprika
- Flatbread
- Salad and sauces
How to make it
- Marinate meat with yogurt, garlic and spices. Work in a bowl for 2-3 minutes until the mixture looks even, then let it rest for 10-20 minutes so the flour, meat or spices hydrate properly.
- Grill or sear until browned. Use medium-high heat to get color, then lower to medium so the inside cooks through without burning. Turn only when the first side has a firm golden crust.
- Warm flatbread and prepare salad. Continue gently and check texture rather than only the clock; the dish is ready when the main ingredient is tender and well seasoned.
- Serve meat with sauces and vegetables. Taste once more before serving. Add salt, acid, herbs or a spoon of sauce at the end while the dish is still hot.
