As promised, a recipe for lamb kebabs
Kuzu Sis
Ingredients:
Diced lamb (preferably leg), approx. 150 gr per person.
Olive oil
Garlic
Onion
Flaked Chilli pepper
Black pepper
Salt
Rosemary ot thyme
Finely slice the onion into rings. lay flat on a plate and give a generous covering of salt. This will leach the juices out of the onion. Leave for at least ten minutes.
Crush and chop the garlic, then mix with a generous amount of olive oil. Add chilli pepper, black pepper and rosemary/Thyme.
Trim the lamb of any excess fat.
Now, take the onion and hand squeeze the juices into the marinade. Don't throw away the onion, as it makes a nice garnish to a tomato salad.
Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and toss. Leave for at least one hour (but preferably overnight) to allow the marinade to flavour and tenderise the meat.
Skewer the lamb and cook on a medium grill or barbecue. turn the skewers regularly. Cooking time about ten minutes. Serve with fresh salad and bread, or slip into a tortilla wrap. Enjoy!
