The apartment complex has still banned my grill and smoker. I am starting to get pretty good at using the broiler but I miss the charcoal taste. Here is a nice recipe for chicken kabobs. They go pretty well with tzatziki sauce.
Chicken Kebabs Shish Tawook
10 cloves garlic, mashed
½ cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup olive oil
2 T plain yogurt
½ tsp. ground cardamom
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. white pepper
2 lbs. chicken breasts cut into chunks for grilling.
Combine all and marinate in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or as long as overnight. Grill or broil on skewers. Serve with tzatziki sauce or garlic yogurt sauce. The tzatziki sauce is a little more trouble to prepare but well worth the effort.
Tzatziki Sauce
3 cups plain yogurt, strained
1 cucumber, sweated and seeded
2 cloves crushed garlic
1 T fresh dill
Salt to taste
Pour yogurt into a coffee filter over a bowl to strain off excess liquid. This may take several hours but it’s important. Sweat the cucumbers by peeling them, seeding them and then sprinkling about a tablespoon of salt over them. This will draw out the excess liquid. Pat dry with a paper towel. Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until very smooth. Season with salt to taste. Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving so the flavors can meld.
