Lamb Kebabs in Pomegranate-Walnut Marinade (Kebab-e Torsh) Recipe

Lamb Kebabs in Pomegranate-Walnut Marinade (Kebab-e Torsh)

Serves 6

This sweet-and-sour kebab is from Gilan Province in northern Iran, where people like their food extra tart. Before grilling, brush off the extra marinade, because it can burn and leave charred flakes on the meat. You can also make these kebabs using beef sirloin, fish, chicken, or vegetables. Start the recipe the day before you plan to serve it so that the kebabs can marinate overnight.

Ingredients

2 lbs. lamb tenderloin or boneless shank or neck, cut into 1-1/2-inch chunks
1 cup walnuts
3/4 cup pomegranate molasses
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 Tbs. grapeseed oil
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus extra chopped for garnish
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Place the meat in a large casserole dish. In a food processor, grind the walnuts, pomegranate molasses, garlic, and olive oil into a puree. Add the parsley and pulse into small bits. Pour the marinade over the meat and toss well. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

If using wooden or bamboo skewers, soak them in salty water for a couple of hours before grilling. Thread 3 or 4 pieces of meat onto each skewer 1/4 inch apart, leaving 2 inches of space at the end. Discard the marinade. Brush or wipe extra marinade from the skewers. Leave the meat out while you heat the grill so it can come up to room temperature (no more than 45 minutes total).

Prepare a hot grill.

Lightly oil the grill and grill the kebabs for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally. When done, the meat should be slightly charred on the outside and very pink on the inside. Transfer to a serving platter and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Grilled Steak Kebab Pitas with Ginger & Garlic Dressing Recipe

Grilled Steak Kebab Pitas with Ginger & Garlic Dressing

Serves 4 as a main course, 6-8 as a “small plate.”

Add some Mediterranean flair to tonight's grilled steak. These kebabs are simple yet flavorful; the ginger and garlic dressing drizzled over the meat and vegetables adds plenty of zing to the finished dish. The bamboo skewers need to soak for 20 minutes before assembling the kebabs, so keep that in mind before you start.

Ingredients

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil; more for brushing
1 Tbs. finely grated ginger
1 Tbs. green Tabasco or other jalapeño hot sauce
2 tsp. cider vinegar
1 small to medium clove garlic, finely grated or minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1-1/2 to 1-3/4 lb. 1-inch-thick boneless beef strip steaks (2 to 3 steaks), trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
6 to 8 bamboo skewers (at least 8 inches long), soaked in water for at least 20 minutes
1 large red bell pepper, cored and cut into 1-1/4- to 1-1/2- inch squares
6 to 8 pita breads, preferably pocketless
2 cups shredded lettuce, preferably a crisp variety like iceberg or romaine

Directions

In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk the 1/2 cup oil with the ginger, Tabasco, vinegar, garlic, 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

Thread four cubes of meat onto each skewer, inserting a red pepper square between the cubes. (You may not need all the skewers.) Brush the kebabs with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

Just before grilling, lightly oil the grill grates. Set the kebabs on the grill and cook, with the lid closed, turning every 2 min., 4 to 6 min. total for medium rare. Warm the pitas on the grill.

To serve, slide each kebab off its skewer into a pita. Top each with some of the lettuce. Whisk the dressing to recombine and drizzle over the meat and vegetables.
Serving Suggestions

Pair the Grilled Steak Kebab Pitas with this Pasta Salad with Grilled Eggplant and Feta.

Grilled Lamb Kebab Salad with Cucumber, Tomatoes & Pita Recipe

Grilled Lamb Kebab Salad with Cucumber, Tomatoes & Pita

Serves 4 as a main course

Main-dish salads are summer's answer to the one-bowl weeknight meal. They're super easy to put together, and in this case, the lamb salad is light but complete. It's also a great alternative for those nights when you want a juicy, meaty salad, but need a break from beef.

Ingredients

6 Tbs. fresh lemon juice
2 large cloves garlic, mashed or crushed through a garlic press
1-1/4 tsp. ground allspice
3/4 tsp. kosher salt; more as needed
3/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
2 lb. boneless lamb leg or shoulder meat, trimmed well and cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes (to yield about 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 lb.)
1 small head romaine lettuce, washed, dried, and torn or cut into large bite-size pieces (about 6 cups)
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and cut into large dice
2 tomatoes, cut into large dice
1 cup packed mint leaves (from about 21/2 to 3 oz. mint sprigs), roughly chopped
2 pita breads, 5 to 6 inches in diameter

Directions

Heat a gas grill to medium. In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, garlic, allspice, salt, and pepper. Whisking constantly, drizzle in 1/2 cup of the oil. Toss the lamb pieces in a medium bowl with 2 Tbs. of the vinaigrette. Thread the lamb onto three or four metal skewers; sprinkle with salt.

Combine the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and all but about 2 Tbs. of the mint in a large bowl. Using a knife, split the pitas and pull the sides apart. Brush the pita halves with the remaining 2 Tbs. oil. Grill until crisp and charred in places, 30 to 60 seconds per side, and transfer to a plate.

Grill the lamb, turning the skewers every 90 seconds or so, until cooked to medium, 6 to 8 min. Remove from the grill and let the lamb rest for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, rip the pitas into large bite-size pieces, add to the bowl with the vegetables, and toss. Slide the lamb off the skewers and cut each cube in half. In a medium bowl, toss the lamb with 3 Tbs. of the vinaigrette (whisk to recombine first).

Toss the vegetables with the remaining dressing and season to taste with salt and pepper. Portion the vegetables onto four plates. Top the salads with the lamb and sprinkle with the remaining mint. Serve immediately.
Serving Suggestions

Toast some extra pitas and serve with Garlic-Yogurt Sauce.

Ingredients 

1.5kg boned lamb shoulder
2 teaspoons allspice
1/3 cup olive oil
1 baby cos lettuce heart, trimmed, leaves separated
400g tomato medley mix, halved
1 Lebanese cucumber, halved, sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced

Lebanese garlic sauce 

6 garlic cloves, peeled, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 egg white
1 cup rice bran oil
2 tablespoons iced water

Method

Step 1
Place lamb in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Add allspice and 1/4 cup oil. Rub to coat lamb all over. Cover. Refrigerate for 2 hours, if time permits.

Step 2
Make Lebanese garlic sauce: Place garlic, salt and 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a food processor. Process, scraping down sides often, until garlic is finely chopped. Add egg white. Process until smooth. With motor operating, gradually add half the oil in a slow steady stream. Then gradually add remaining lemon juice in a slow steady stream, followed by remaining oil. Gradually add iced water. Process until mixture is white and fluffy. Spoon into a bowl. Cover. Refrigerate until required.

Step 3
Preheat a barbecue chargrill (with hood) on medium-low. Cook lamb, fat-side down, for 15 minutes. Turn lamb. Cook, with barbecue hood closed, for 30 to 35 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer to a plate. Cover loosely with foil. Stand for 10 minutes.

 Notes

Cook's note: The garlic sauce makes double the amount you'll need, but can't be halved because of the egg white.

Lebanese garlic sauce: This Lebanese garlic sauce is known as toum, the Arabic word for garlic. It's particularly good with chicken, but also works with meat and vegetables.

Preparation time excludes 2 hours refrigeration time.

The Hummus blog: The home of hummus dips and traditional Middle Eastern food invites you to try Kefta Kebabs and Cauliflower with Taratur Sauce Recipe. Enjoy the Middle Eastern cuisine and learn how to make Kefta Kebabs and Cauliflower with Taratur Sauce.
 
Two new dishes for us tonight: baked cauliflower with a delicious tahini sauce, and ground turkey meatballs with a pomegranate syrup.

Turkey Kefta Kebabs
2 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced
1 large tomato, diced
2 large garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper
1/2 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp cumin
2 tbsp chopped cilantro
1 lb ground turkey
1/4 dry white wine
pomegranate molasses

Heat a tablespoon of the oil in a nonstick skillet, and cook the onions and tomatoes, sprinkled with salt and pepper, over high heat until the onions start to wilt and brown, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.

In a large bowl, add the ground turkey, onion-tomato mix, salt, pepper, coriander, cumin, cilantro, and wine. Mix together well and form into small balls. The mix will feel *really* delicate and sticky.

In the skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, and rotate every 30 seconds or so until all sides are seared. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the meatballs reach an internal temperature of 150. Serve on a plate and drizzle the pomegranate molasses over the top.

Makes ~14

Cauliflower with Taratur
1 head cauliflower
olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp water
1/3 cup lemon juice
powdered red pepper

Heat the oven to 450F. Break the cauliflower into florets and place into a small bowl. Drizzle a little olive oil over the cauliflower and add a pinch of red pepper. Toss until all the cauliflower is coated, then place in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes or until browned and tender.

In a bowl, mix the crushed garlic and the salt. Add the tahini and blend well, then add the water and mix thoroughly. Add the lemon juice and blend until the sauce is whitish and smooth. Add red pepper to taste. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower and serve.
