Recipe

Ingredients

500 g chicken thighs, cubed
400 g lamb shoulder, cubed
400 g minced beef for kofta, mixed with chopped onion and parsley
300 g basmati rice
4 tomatoes and 2 onions, halved, for grilling
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tbsp seven-spice (baharat), salt
4 flatbreads

Method

Season chicken and lamb with oil, spices and salt; shape the beef mixture onto flat skewers.
Cook the rice in salted water or stock.
Grill the skewers over charcoal or a grill pan, turning, until cooked through.
Grill the tomatoes and onions until soft and charred.
Arrange rice on a large platter with the meats and vegetables on top and bread on the side.

How to make it lighter

Fill up on chicken, which is leaner than the lamb and kofta.
Take one piece of bread or a small scoop of rice, not both.
Add a big salad to the table and serve yourself vegetables first.

History

Shared grill platters are a fixture of restaurants across the Levant, the Gulf and Turkey, built from the same skewers sold individually. Today the family platter is a standard order for gatherings and weekend meals throughout the Middle East.
