Kuzu Kuzu Kuzu Kuzu Urfa

Kuzu Kuzu Kuzu Kuzu Urfa is a flavorful Turkish BBQ dish featuring tender lamb skewers marinated in a blend of spices and grilled to perfection. Each bite offers a smoky, savory experience that embodies the essence of traditional Turkish cuisine.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into 2.5 cm cubes
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Yogurt - 100 grams
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Urfa pepper - 1 tablespoon
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
• Skewers - 4 (soaked in water if wooden)

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mix together the olive oil, minced garlic, yogurt, lemon juice, Urfa pepper, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours for better flavor.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness (medium-rare is ideal).
6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Kuzu Kuzu Kuzu Kuzu Urfa with a side of fresh vegetables or a salad.
