Cağ kebabı
Cağ kebabı is a delicious and popular Turkish dish. It is traditionally made with marinated lamb meat, which is then cooked on a vertical spit. The meat is thinly sliced and served with lavash bread, grilled vegetables, and a variety of condiments like yogurt and pomegranate molasses.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds lamb thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Skewers (preferably metal skewers)
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
- Place the thinly sliced lamb in a resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the lamb, ensuring all slices are coated. Let the lamb marinate for at least 2 hours, or ideally overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat your grill or oven broiler to medium-high heat.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- Thread the marinated lamb slices onto the skewers, evenly distributing the meat.
- Cook the kebabs on the preheated grill or under the broiler for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Once cooked, remove the kebabs from the heat and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
- Serve the Cağ kebab with lavash bread, grilled vegetables, and your choice of condiments such as yogurt, pomegranate molasses, or tzatziki sauce.
