Chicken
1 kg chicken, wing and boneless thigh mixed
6 cloves of garlic, pureed
1.5 teaspoons of tomato paste, alternatively add some tomato puree
1 teaspoon of red pepper paste, alternatively add red pepper or sriracha sauce
¾ cup of kefir
1,5 teaspoons of cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flake
1.5 teaspoons of black pepper
1 teaspoon of salt
3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme
2 pinches of sugar, alternatively 1 tablespoon molasses
Lavash
● Mix the tomato and the red pepper paste in a bowl.
● Add the garlic puree, kefir. Kefir not only adds an incredible flavor when marinating the chicken and meat, but also works very well because it is acidic and probiotic if you don't have much time.
● Season with cumin, red pepper flakes, black pepper, salt, fresh thyme and sugar and give it a nice toss.
● Coat the chicken with the marinade and let it sit at least for four hours better if it waits overnight.
● Then place the chicken on the barbecue. Flip when one side starts to turn brown. Try not to turn the meat before getting good grill marks.
● Before you take it from the barbecue, put lavash on them and both warm the lavash and absorb the delicious oil and water that will drip onto the barbecue into your bread.
● Your little feast is ready when you place the cooked chicken like Turkish delight on the lavash
Köfte
500 gr minced meat (you can use beef, lamb or mutton, whichever you like is fine)
1 large onion, halved
8 handfuls of breadcrumbs, crusts removed, (alternatively, 8 slices of bread works great as well)
1 teaspoon baking soda or baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoon butter (skip butter if your meat is fatty)
To garnish:
Tomato, halved
Green pepper
Onion, halved
● To prepare the köfte, add the breadcrumbs or slices and onion in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds.
● Add in the minced meat, baking soda, butter, salt and black pepper. Continue to pulse until it becomes a paste.
● Wet your hands and shape the mixture into flat round patties. Press your fingers on each patty to increase the surface area. More surface area means more Maillard reaction, and it means more flavour!
● Heat a cast iron pan and place six patties in it and cook on medium heat.
● Flip every Köfte several times while cooking. Add the tomatoes and peppers into the pan.
● While they are cooking mix the butter with hot water and score the flat bread.
● Remove the köfte from heat and pour the half of the water and butter mixture in the pan. Right after, put in the bread as well. This way, bread will soak up the all the flavours and become more and more tasty. Repeat the same for the other patties.
● Place the bread in a dish and serve the köfte on it. Enjoy your amazing köfte with pickles or yogurt.

Onion
● To make the marinade, sieve the onion on the meat to use its juice.
● Add the kefir, salt, red pepper flakes and oregano and let it sit for at least two hours or overnight.

Juicy Lamb Kebab Recipe
RECIPE: Hi Guys, today I’ll show you How to Make Grilled Lamb Skewers. Cook them on the stove top if you don’t have a grill. They will still taste great! I’ll show you both ways. LINK to Weber Kettle Grill:
Weber Kettle Grill How to Use Video:
This is boneless leg of lamb cut into 1.5 inch chunks. Yellow onion cut up and a few garlic cloves peeled. For the spices, salt, red chili powder, ground cumin and garam masala. Fresh lemon and oil. That’s all you need to make these simple skewers. To a food processor, add the onion and garlic. Juice the lemon, add that to the onion and garlic. Process until fine. Put down a clean kitchen cloth and place the processed mixture on the cloth. Wring out the juice into a bowl. Pour the juice over the lamb, add vegetable oil, the dry spices and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Take the meat out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before cooking so it’s not icy cold. I’m using steel skewers, now if you’re using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in warm water for at least 30 minutes so they’re not dry, soaking for 2 hours is better. Thread the meat on each skewer leaving ½ inch space between each piece of meat. I’m saving some of the meat so I can show you how to cook it in a pan on the stove. I don’t know why but every time I try to grill, it’s windy. But at least it wasn’t raining so I’m heating up this Weber kettle grill. If you want to see how to assemble and use this grill, I’ve done 2 videos on my other channel, bestkitchenreviews. While gas grills are more convenient, you can’t beat the taste of a charcoal grill. The coals are hot, I’ll cover the grill and let it get really hot. My grill is ready, I’ve put the grate on and cleaned it. Put the skewers on the grate directly over the coals. Baste with a little oil. And Grill on high heat for 5 to 7 minutes for medium rare to medium. Turn them halfway through cooking and baste with oil again. The lamb is boneless and cooks very quickly so watch them and don’t overcook. If you’re not sure when they’re done, use a meat thermometer. Take the skewers off the grill, cover lightly and let the meat rest for five minutes before removing from the skewers and serving. To make the meat in a pan, heat up a heavy bottomed pan like this cast iron. Put a little oil in and when it’s very hot, add the lamb pieces. By the time you’ve added all the pieces, it’ll be time to start turning them. Because the pan is so hot, there’ll be a nice crust on the lamb. Do leave space between the pieces and don’t overcrowd the pan, otherwise they’ll steam instead of sear. Make sure to turn on a vent or open a window. These cook very quickly, 5 to 7 minutes. Again, use a thermometer if you’re not sure when they’re done. They’re so juicy and taste just as good as the grilled meat. You can make these whether you have a grill or not.
