Tips

  • Let the kabob mixture sit for 30-90 minutes for best flavor.
  • Score the meat mixture with a knife and use a spatula to make indentations for an authentic kabob look.
  • Mix the excess liquid from the cooked kabobs with tomato paste and brush it back on before broiling to intensify flavor and achieve a grilled look.
  • Slowly add water to the tahini sauce until it is smooth, creamy, and pourable.
  • Serve warm lavash or pita with tahini sauce, kabobs, salad, fresh parsley, mint, and a garnish of sumac.
