INGREDIENTS
1 # skinless chicken breast, lamb or pork
1⁄2 teaspoon coriander seed, roughly ground
1⁄2 teaspoon cumin seed, roughly ground
1⁄2 teaspoon fennel seed, roughly ground
1 -2 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed with
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1 pinch saffron, infused with 2 tablespoons boiling water
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 bay leaf, crumbled
2 teaspoons wine vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
GARNISH
chopped flat leaf parsley or cilantro
DIRECTIONS
Lightly toast whole spices. Put into mortar and pestle, pound into a coarse powder. Or use ground spices instead.
Cut the chicken breasts,lamb or pork into cubes about 1″ in size. Flatten them slightly with the
palm of your hand.
Place the meat in a large bowl and add the dried spices, garlic & salt, saffron infused water,
oregano, bay leaf and vinegar – mix thoroughly.
Then add the olive oil – mix again thoroughly, cover with cling film and leave in the fridge for
between 2 & 12 hours, so the flavors mingle and marinade into the meat.
Thread the meat on to the skewers. I like threading meat onto two skewers. It keeps meat from twisting while grilling.
Grill for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the outside is charred and the inside is still juicy
but cooked.
Season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chopped flat leaf parsley or fresh
coriander
