Instructions

Step 1

Mix all the marinade ingredients (yogurt, crushed garlic, harissa, preserved lemon, sumac, za'atar, 1/2 bunch cilantro, juice of 1 lemon, salt and pepper) together in a big bowl and add the chopped meat. Mix well and marinade in the fridge for several hours or ideally overnight.

Step 2

Using a blender or food processer, combine all sauce ingredients together until smooth and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

Step 3

If you're using wooden skewers soak in water for half an hour prior to cooking (so they don't burn). Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, or get the grill hot.

Step 4

Thread the marinated meat onto skewers alternating with onion chunks and cherry tomatoes. If you're using the oven, bake for about 30-35 minutes on an oiled baking sheet (tin foil makes it less messy), rotating the skewers every 10 minutes. Finish in the broiler for a few minutes once fully cooked, if the kebabs are not sufficiently charred. Otherwise cook on the grill.

Step 5

Serve with sauce for dipping, rice and veggies.
