Iskender Kebab
Ingredients:

  1. 2 lbs lamb, cubes
  2. 4 large onions
  3. 1 teaspoon salt
  4. 1 teaspoon pepper 
  5. olive oil
  6. 2 round pita breads
  7. 2 tablespoons tomato puree
  8. 2 large tomatoes
  9. 2 cups plain plain yogurt
  10. 4 cloves garlic
  11. 4 tablespoons butter 
  12. salt
  13. 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  14. 4 large chili peppers
Directions:

  • First make the marinade for the meat.
  • Place onions in a food processor and process till liquid, discard any remaining onion pulp.
  • Mix salt, pepper, olive oil, and onion juice in a bowl.
  • Add diced or cubed lamb pieces and marinade overnight or for 24 hours.
  • Place marinaded lamb pieces onto a skewer and cook on grill, basting with more marinade until brown and tender all over, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  • While the meat is cooking you can prepare the Iskender plate.
  • Warm pita on the grill on both sides and keep warm.
  • When everything is ready then slice the pita into squares, divide into 4 portions and place as a layer on each plate.
  • Crush garlic with the salt and add into yogurt, mix well, add extra salt to taste.
  • Spoon onto the pita squares just before adding hot lamb kebabs.
  • Cut tomatoes in half and grill slowly until hot, don't overcook, as they will become too soft and soggy.
  • Repeat with the chilli peppers.
  • Mix tomato puree with olive oil and pepper and heat in a small saucepan, add salt to taste, and drizzle over kebabs as it is the meat sauce.
  • Garnish with the grilled tomatoes and chili peppers, and sprigs of fresh dark green parsley or mint.
