Kuzu Kuzu Urfa

Kuzu Kuzu Urfa is a succulent, dairy-free Turkish BBQ dish featuring tender lamb marinated in fragrant spices, grilled to perfection. This dish captures the rich flavors of Urfa pepper and garlic, creating a delightful and aromatic experience.

Ingredients

• Lamb shoulder - 400 grams, cut into cubes
• Garlic - 4 cloves, minced
• Urfa pepper - 2 tablespoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine minced garlic, Urfa pepper, cumin, paprika, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Preheat your grill or BBQ to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
5. Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired doneness.
6. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
