Hello effybotty, this is how my adorable niece sends her greetings. So again, hello everybody :)
Life carries its smooth, its hard, its happy, and its hectic days. During my hectic days, I choose to prepare easy prep meals when I do not have time to cook. So today, I prepared grilled chicken sheesh tawook marinated in yoghurt,cumin, tomato paste, and garlic.
What is Sheesh Tawook? Sheesh means skewers and Tawook means chicken (origin Turkey). So basically, it means pieces of chicken threaded onto skewers and grilled. Because the Ottoman Empire ruled Lebanon for so many years, sheesh tawook became very popular in Lebanon.
Enjoy effybotty :)
Ingredients:
2 pounds chicken thighs cut into big chunks
1 tomato paste can 6 oz
Salt
1/3 tsp paparika
3/4 cup yoghurt
2 minced garlic
1 lemon zest
1/3 tsp red pepper
1 tbsp cumin
Tortilla bread
Preparation:
Mix all of the above ingredients in a big bowl. Marinade the chicken thighs for about an hour. Prepare the grill. Grill the thighs*You can also use an indoor grill or bake at 375 degrees F
Heat the tortilla
Arrange the chicken tawook on bread
Top with yoghurt, hummus or tahini sauce
Roll and enjoy
