Turkish Shish Kebab
500 gr lamb, cut in medium sized cubes

Marinade:

Pour all the marinade ingredients all over the lamb cubes and toss. Place into a glass bowl. Cover it with plastic wrap and allow it to marinate overnight in the fridge. The following day let it sit at room temperature for 1 hour before cooking.

Arrange lamb cubes on the skewers. Make 2 skewers for 1 serving. Preheat your barbecue or oven (grill). Place the skewers on the rack along with the peppers, tomato halves (inside up) and onion. Make sure to turn the skewers so that all sides of the lamb are cooked equally for a total 10 minutes.

Makes 3 servings.

Merhaba & my sincere wishes hoping your summer is going well.

What can I say, if we lived closer I would be in your kitchen every day or in your backyard devoring your kebabs. :) :).

Joking aside, I'm about to be gifted with lots of fresh figs. The green kind. It's truly a miracle, I've discovered 2 fig trees in my neighborhood. If I could find a way, I would really send you some. Do you happen to have any recipes for maiking candied figs & fresh incir receli?

Take care & all the best,

Gulacti

Merhaba Gulacti,
Weather is like syrup this year here...walking every day to save some for the winter. I wish we could be closer to each other, then, we would have kebab and put on a lot of weight:))
Last week I was in the kitchen doing so many kinds of jams with fresh fruits except fig...
When you peel the figs you should wear plastic gloves to prevent colouring of your fingers. Make a hole using toothpick from the top to the bottom. Then boil and drain at least 4 times to get rid of the bitterness. Bring to boil sugar, water, lemon juice and lemon zest and add squeezed figs in it. If you can find "Limon Tuzu" add into the jam 10 minutes before you turn the heat off, it may become crystallized within a few weeks.
Hugs,
Binnur
