Q & A

  • What is the benefit of using rosemary as a skewer for the lamb kebabs?

    -Using rosemary as a skewer adds a natural, aromatic flavor to the lamb as it cooks, infusing the meat with its scent while also being a natural, sustainable option.

  • What ingredients are used in the marinade for the lamb kebabs?

    -The marinade includes olive oil, lemon juice, salt, pepper, bay leaves, rosemary, salt (for abrasiveness), garlic, and optionally, oregano.

  • What is the purpose of using a pestle and mortar in the marinade preparation?

    -The pestle and mortar help to crush and grind the ingredients like herbs and garlic into a pulp, releasing essential oils and intensifying the flavors of the marinade.

  • What kind of lamb is used for these kebabs, and how is it prepared?

    -Spring lamb is used for its tenderness and flavor. The lamb is cut into one-inch chunks, which is ideal for making kebabs.

  • What vegetables are recommended for the kebabs, and how should they be prepared?

    -The seeds of the chili are removed to reduce heat, and the chili is cut into two pieces so that one lucky person gets an extra spicy bite.

  • Why is it recommended to marinate the lamb overnight?

    -Marinating the lamb overnight allows the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat, making it more flavorful and tender. While it still tastes good if cooked immediately, overnight marination makes a significant difference.

  • What is the flatbread recipe mentioned in the video, and how is it cooked?

    -The flatbread recipe is simple and involves rolling out dough to about 1 cm thick. It's cooked on a BBQ by placing it over a hot metal bowl, which heats up quickly and cooks the bread into a crispy, bowl-like shape.

  • How does the cook suggest using rosemary in addition to using it as a skewer?

    -Rosemary can be used as a brush to baste the kebabs with additional marinade while grilling, adding even more flavor during the cooking process.

  • What additional elements can be added to the kebab dish for serving?

    -The kebabs can be served with salads, red cabbage for vivid color and crunch, mint leaves for a fragrant touch, and yogurt mixed with mint for a cooling, creamy accompaniment.
