After my disappointment at a recent experience at the local kebab joint I decided I owed it to myself and you, the people, to right this wrong and make my own far superior lamb kebab. At this point in time I am pleased to announce that my mission was an outstanding success. Go make one today.

The lamb shoulder was rubbed down with a Moroccan spice mix (recipe below), covered with foil and slowly roasted for 5 hours at about 150C. It would have been AOK to not worry about making the rest of the kebab and just eat the lamb by itself, but I set out on a mission and by the dear lord I was going to complete it!

MOROCCAN SPICE MIX

½ cup each coriander seed, cumin seed, sumac, cinnamon

¼ cup chilli flakes

1 tablespoon cardamon

  • Toast cumin and coriander seed
  • Grind all whole spice and mix it up
  • Use half a cup to rub all over the sexy little lamb shoulder, and the rest? You will be limited only by your lack of imagination…

BABAGANOUSH

2 large eggplant, grilled whole over an open flame, for that lovely smoky flavour

2 cloves garlic

2 Tbls tahini

¼ cup lemon juice

½ cup chopped parsley

¼ cup EVO

seasoning

water

  • blitz all except parsley and olive oil, adding a little extra water if needed to make a smooth puree
  • emulsify olive oil into the puree
  • season and fold through chopped parsley
make this shit. It's well worth the tiny little bit of effort it takes...

CUCUMBER AND RADISH SALAD

1 handful chopped cucumber

1 handful chopped radish

½ handful chopped tomato

½ handful chopped red onion

1 handful chopped parsley and mint

1 handful natural yoghurt. Or maybe we should use a cup for this one. Yeah, let’s use a cup…

a splash of olive oil

  • combine all ingredients and mix well. Season with salt and pepper
make heaps and invite your friends over to show them how awesome you are...

ASSEMBLY

Put it all together just like the pretty photo, chuck a few leaves and a bit of pickled zucchini in there and hit it with a bit of sumac at the end…

  1. Good on you for stepping up to the challenge of making your own kebabs. I’m one of those people who can’t eat out without wondering, “Could I cook this better at home?”.

    Well done on this spice mix and 5 hours of roasting sounds like the meat was lovely and tender. I think I would have to leave the house though – the wonderful smell would drive me crazy!

  2. Looks damn good. We have a kebab shop down the road in Sandhurst, U.K. where they make a naan bread in the tandor oven ans pile it all inside that. With a garlic mayonnaise it is about as good as it gets.

  3. Not having the correct knowledge can limit your ability towards reaching
    your goals. Aikido focuses on realizing synchronization between ‘ki’ (spirit) and ‘tai’ (the body).
    Boxing exercise in intervals and with high intensity is the key
    to lightening fast results.

  4. Thanks for any other informative site. The place else may I
    am getting that kind of info written in such a perfect manner?

    I’ve a challenge that I am simply now operating on, and I have
    been at the glance out for such info.

  5. You can always contact a lender informally without giving authorization to pull your credit report and thus,
    you will avoid too many credit pulls and other stains
    on your credit history if you get declined. Since it started
    in the year 1964, the CSLP has covered around 4.

    A certified personal bankruptcy trustee in your area can advise you on the precise details that would use in your predicament.

  6. Undeniably believe that which you stated. Your favorite
    reason appeared to be on the net the easiest thing
    to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get irked while
    people consider worries that they just do
    not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having side-effects ,
    people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.

    Thanks

    a famous blogger iif you are not already 😉 Cheers!

  9. There are two different types of stickman game categories.
    However, Origin must be put on this list, because in many instances it is the
    only way to play games made by EA, like Battlefield 3,
    and the upcoming release, Battlefield 4. Serious gamers are
    choosing gaming laptops because the system are equipped with
    specific components that make it appropriate for gaming.
