Ingredients

Quantities below make about 4 servings (Estimated)

Quantities and nutrition on this page are estimates unless the source gives measured values.

Plan ahead. Marinate/rest meat before grilling

Method

  1. Combine the meat or chicken with the listed seasonings and refrigerate for about 1 hour.

  2. Trim and portion the meat, chicken, fish, or other main ingredient for grilling.

  3. Mix with onion and the listed seasonings; knead ground mixtures well or marinate whole pieces.

  4. Thread onto skewers or shape as required.

  5. Grill over hot charcoal or a grill, turning regularly until cooked but still juicy.

  6. Serve with rice or bread, grilled tomato, and traditional accompaniments.

Cook's notes

Squeeze the grated onion very dry and keep the meat mixture cold. Knead thoroughly so it adheres to the skewer, then grill quickly over very high heat.

Background
