|
INSTRUCTIONS: |
-
Whisk the olive oil,
lemon juice and wine together.
-
Then add the herbs
crushed garlic and chopped onion and put the mixture
into a deep dish.
-
Putting some marinade
aside to coat the cooked kebabs if desired.
-
Add the meat cubes to
the marinade and mix together well, ensuring the
meat is well and evenly covered.
-
The meat needs
marinating for at least two hours; we recommend that
it be left overnight to absorb the wonderflavors of
the sauce.
-
Either metal or wooden
skewers can be used, but the wooden ones need
soaking for at least half an hour before they are
used. This prevents them from burning.
-
Remove the meat from
the marinade, the remaining marinade may be kept for
basting during cooking but it must then be thrown
away.
-
Make up the kebabs
with an alternate piece of meat and vegetable.
-
Making them all up the
same makes them look more attractive on the serving
dish.
-
The kebabs may be
baked in the oven, grilled or the best of all
barbecued.
-
Cook thoroughly and
evenly turning them over regularly throughout the
cooking time.
-
Brush with the
reserved marinade that hasn't been in contact with
the raw meat.
CHEF’S SERVING NOTES:
-
Halve the wooden
skewers, they look nicer smaller and it makes them
go further!
-
Serve the kebabs on a
long serving platter with parsley and for an extra
special occasion make a Greek dip like Hummus.
-
Reserve some of the
marinade on the side before adding the meat.
-
Brush it over the
cooked kebabs for an extra moist touch.
CHEF’S NOTE:
An incredibly simple and
quick to make dip Hummus, like the kebabs it can be made
the day before – which makes it far more delicious!
Serve with warm pita.
YIELDS:
6 – 8 kebabs
