Lamb kidney skewers are a classic small plate served with anise-flavored spirits in Istanbul taverns. This version uses an air fryer instead of a grill. Soaking the kidneys in cold water and marinating them with thyme helps reduce their strong smell, while the air fryer gives them a lightly browned exterior and a tender center.
Halve the lamb kidneys and remove the inner membranes and white parts. Soak them in cold water for 15 minutes to reduce their strong smell.
Mix the drained kidney pieces with the olive oil, crushed garlic, thyme, Turkish red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper. Leave to marinate for 15 minutes.
Thread the marinated kidney pieces onto metal skewers.
Arrange the skewers in the air-fryer basket. Cook for 12 minutes, turning once halfway through, until lightly browned.
Remove the kidney pieces from the skewers, drizzle with lemon juice and serve hot.
Soaking the kidneys in cold water greatly reduces their strong smell, so do not skip this step. If using metal skewers, lightly oil them before cooking to prevent sticking.
Böbreği soğuk suda 15 dakika bekletme adımını atlayıp direkt marine etsem kokusu ne kadar belirgin kalır acaba? Zamanım kısıtlıydı ama yine de deneyip güzel sonuç aldım, merak ettim.
