INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. smaiskeh (baby lamb fillet)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
12 small onions (optional)
Near Easterners call this dish shish kebab. It tastes best when made with
very young spring lamb. Lebanese cooks broil the skewered meat over
charcoal on their braziers called manqals. The juices which drip during
the broiling are caught inside a loaf of Arabic bread. When the meat is
done, it is slipped off the skewer into the bread. In Armenia & Turkey the
meat is marinated in olive oil, green peppers, parsley, onions and
tomatoes before broiling.
Chop meat into one-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper and let
stand for an hour. Spear on to skewers, allowing six pieces of meat per
person. Alternate lean and fatty meat with onions. Broil under a very hot
flame, or over charcoal until outside is well browned and sizzling. If broiled
in the oven, sprinkle a little olive oil over meat before broiling so that it will
not dry out. Excellent accompaniments to this meat are laban (yogurt) and the
savory Arabic sauces called hummus bi taheeni and baba ghannouj.
