  • It's grilling season, so I wanted some chicken kebabs, and that meant I had to make the best ones - Shish Tawouk. These marinated chicken cubes, are juicy, flavourful, and so delicious. It barely requires any work to put together, and yet makes one of the best grilled foods you'll ever try

    Obi I christened my grill with these tonight & OMG!!!! Even the dog was sniffing the air trying to figure out what smelled so good!!!! I’ve made shish kebab before and never been happy with them. The labneh worked fine & the chicken was SO TENDER!!! I have found my “go to” recipe & so happy I have leftovers for the next couple days!!!! Thank you!!!!

    My favorite thing about yogurt based marinades is that the yogurt has lactic acid which occurs naturally in muscle tissue, so those kinds of marinades don't break down the meat like vinegar based marinades that tend to make meat mushy

    I made a second batch tonight and used too much ginger. I recommend everyone who is adjusting to add more ginger or more turmeric as a last resort, as it probably just needs more salt or more lemmon

      Hey Will, It's generally called Khubz. It is just regular pitta rolled out super thin and baked. The rolling thin is hard though without a machine. I buy it. You can find it at any turkish grocery store, there should be plenty in SW London. If you can't find one, there is a branch of TFC (Turkish Food Centre) somewhere in south.
