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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Serving note

Keep the plate simple and let the main texture lead: crisp pastry, tender stew, glossy sauce or fresh garnish. This page is a compact cooking guide, not a long article.
