Shish Tawook: A Delicious Middle Eastern Delight
Ingredients:
6 chicken thighs (chopped into small pieces)
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp parsley
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp all spice
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup yogurt
4 garlic cloves (minced)
1 shallot (sliced)
2 stalks of cilantro (chopped)
Wooden skewers
Instructions:
Begin by combining all of the ingredients (excluding the shallot and cilantro) in a bowl. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour.
While the chicken marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes. This will prevent the skewers from burning during the grilling process.
Once the chicken has marinated, begin to skewer each piece onto the wooden skewers.
Heat a pan or cast iron grill pan on medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the skewers and grill each side for about 7 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through.
Once the skewers are fully cooked, remove them from the heat and garnish with sliced shallots and chopped cilantro.
Serve with a side of your choice, such as rice, vegetables, or a fresh salad.
