Tips

  • Let the kabob mixture sit for 30-90 minutes to enhance flavor.
  • Scoring the meat and making indentations gives an authentic kabob look.
  • Broiling after initial baking intensifies flavor and gives a grilled look and taste.
  • Slowly add water to the tahini sauce until it is smooth, creamy, and pourable.
