Instructions
- Place the diced tomato and onion in the center of a large cheesecloth. Close the cheesecloth and squeeze very hard on the tomato and onion to extract the juice. Discard the juice.
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients as well as the squeezed tomato and onion.
- Let the mixture rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator, kneading it every 15 minutes.
- Take a piece of meat and squeeze firmly on a long, wide metal skewer and form a long kebab.
- Renew the process until the meat is all used.
- Grill the skewers for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, preferably on a charcoal fire. It is important to turn the skewer regularly otherwise the meat may come off the skewer.
- Sprinkle the skewers with 1 tablespoon chopped parsley and ½ teaspoon sumac and serve immediately with bell peppers and tomatoes, grilled on the same fire.
Notes
- Make sure that the meat is firmly fixed on the skewer and that there are no air pockets between the meat and the skewer.
- Do not place the skewer on a cold grill, as the kebab will remain stuck.
