Mishkak, a Gulf street food, is made by marinating lamb leg in a spiced yogurt mixture, threading it onto skewers, and grilling it. Getting the marinade and cooking balance right takes skill.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the Marinade

10 min

Mix the yogurt, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, ground red pepper, turmeric, salt, and olive oil, then coat the lamb with the mixture.

2

Marinate the Meat

120 min

Refrigerate the marinated meat for at least 2 hours so the spices can penetrate.

3

Thread onto Skewers

10 min

Thread the marinated lamb pieces tightly onto metal skewers.

4

Grill

15 min

Turn the skewers occasionally as they cook over hot coals, until browned on all sides. If you do not have a grill, you can cook them in a preheated air fryer basket for a similar amount of time.

Reminder

Marinate the meat for at least 2 hours so the spices can penetrate and the meat does not stay tough. Allergen: contains dairy.
