| Joojeh Kabab
Ingredients: (4
servings)
- Chicken, 1 kg
- Extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup
- 2 large onions, grated
- 4 medium tomatoes
- Salt
- Black pepper
- Saffron, 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
Directions:
Prepare marinade: mix olive oil, grated onions, saffron, salt and
black pepper. Wash and cut chicken into small pieces, then remove
the skin. Marinate overnight (or at least for several hours) in
refrigerator. The container should be covered.
Thread chicken on long, thin metal skewers. Thread leg and thigh
pieces, wings and breast pieces separately, as breast requires
slightly less cooking. Also thread whole tomatoes separately on
another skewer. Brush with marinade. Barbeque for about 5-10
minutes on each side, turning frequently. Joojeh Kabab can also be
prepared in the oven. Prepare chicken as before, pre-heat the
grill to a high temperature, and place just under the grill, again
turning frequently. Serve hot with basmati rice or on
middle-eastern bread.
