Kabab Chenjeh Instructions

Step 1

Wash and dry the meat, then cut into 2 cm cubes. Note that all pieces of lamb or beef must be almost identical to cook evenly during cooking.

Step 2

Put the pieces of meat in a large bowl. Cut the onion into large slices, then pour the onion with Greek yogurt, sour lemon juice, oil, salt, and black pepper into the bowl.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients by hand for a few minutes until smooth, then cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to flavor the meat.

Step 4

After 6 hours, take the bowl out of the refrigerator, then pull the pieces of meat evenly on the skewer.

Step 5

After you have skewered all the pieces of meat, tap the pieces of meat a little with a heavy object to open them.

Step 6

Light the charcoal inside the brazier and place the skewers on the brazier. Turn the skewers every few moments so that the kebabs cook evenly.

Step 7

You can skewer a few tomatoes and cook them on the brazier. In the end, serve Kabab Chenjeh with rice or bread.
