Recipes of Lamb Shish Kabob Recipe

Lamb is a very special meat in Turkish cuisine.This Lamb Shish Kabob Recipe is a big hit on special occasions. The kabob is tender and juicy thanks to an easy yogurt marinade. Fancy yet simple and easy! Perfect for weeknight dinners too!  

If you visit Ankara, I recommend you stop by at Aspuzu Çiğköfte. You will find the taste and authentic atmosphere at this restaurant and I believe you will like it a lot.BTW,ankara iyi restoranlar: Fado Bistro, Afitap Meyhane, Düveroğlu Kebap Salonu.

Who doesn’t love Turkish kebabs, one of the most popular Turkish foods? They are always a hit at occasions. These yogurt marinated Turkish lamb kebabs are family favorite. It’s a fun way to have dinner. Everyone is happier when they have kabobs, grilled vegetables and yogurt dip cacik for dinner. We either make chicken kabobs or lamb skewers using almost the same marinade and have the same tasty and tender result each time.



 What we love most about this shish kabob recipe is that it can be prepared ahead of time. Super time saving! And if you love cooking with lamb meat, you can check out our simple lamb stew, which is perfect for colder seasons.

How To Make

1,Put chopped lamb meat in the marinade and refrigerate overnight or at least for 1 hour.

2,Thread the lamb cubes and pepper pieces on skewers.

3,Light a grill and place the skewers and throw some fresh rosemary leaves over them. Grill the skewers over high heat, turning every 1 minute to cook all sides. They are done within 7 minutes. You can use a grill pan too.

4,Serve with more grilled vegetables or fresh salad.

What Vegetables To Pair These With?

Another thing we love about making lamb kabobs is that you can pair them with whatever vegetable you like. You can just thread them together on skewers or place some extra veggies on the grill and cook them altogether.

We love grilled peppers, so we always pair kabobs with them. Our son’s favorite is grilled onions, so we always put some onions on the grill too. Oh and we add some fresh rosemary on the grill when making this shish kabob recipe. They all smell so good!

Roasted lemon garlic potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, mushrooms would all work fine. You can even prepare some vegetable kebabs and grill them altogether.

Serving Suggestions

Besides roasted vegetables, you can serve these lamb shish kabobs with several side dishes. Our favorites are Turkish salsa acili ezme, sumac onion salad and shepherd salad.

Also, you can put the kebabs on some Turkish breads like lavash, pide bread or flatbread bazlama.

 Pan Fried Chicken Wings with Bulgur is a satisfying Mediterranean-inspired dish with minimum washing up. It makes a perfect weeknight dinner. Bulgur wheat is always a perfect match with chicken. Although we often make bulgur pilaf as a side dish, we sometimes cook bulgur and chicken in the same pan to have the best combination of flavors. This is one of those same pan recipes. How to Make 1.It's important to steam the chicken wings first. To do this, heat the pan, place the wings and pour a little water over them. Let them cook covered over medium low heat. You will see how the wings  first release their water and then absorb it. This helps the chicken wings to get tender and juicy. 2.Don't overload the pan with the wings, otherwise you can’t give them a frying effect. You can use two pans if you want to double the recipe. 3.When there is little water left in the pan, drizzle olive oil over the wings, sprinkle the spices you like, toss in garlic cloves and squeeze half lemon....
