What's your favourite Kebab and have you made it at home before? My favourite Kebab is Adana Kebab from Turkey, let me know if you want a recipe for this or if you've got a unique Kebab you think I should make!
If you liked the video & recipes, you can support the channel directly on *www.patreon.com/MiddleEats* . Thank you!
You read my mind and my cravings yet again, Obi!
A kebab-off would be amazing. One for kafta and one for la7am mishwi!
Yes, we want a recipe. =) The best kebab I've had so far in my life was from a Lebanese place in Alexandria, VA. I used to work in this sort of sprawling industrial park and a few businesses down from us was this amazing little deli/store/place (not sure what to call it...it was tiny and they had the best manakish as well) where I often went to get breakfast or lunch. Pretty sure what I had were kofta, but they were spitted and grilled over a fire so I'm calling them kebabs. This was over 30 years ago and I still remember how delicious everything was from there.
Adana is great but you need to find tailfat
Lamb
I had a Turkish friend help me make Adana kebab at home. No tailfat, but we found that pork lard from the Mexican market gave it the right texture and close enough on the flavor.
I love the strong focus on techniques that translate across cuisines and not just ingredients!
Thanks. Happy to help people make Cajun chicken kebabs if they want to!
Yep! This is why I keep coming back!
@@MiddleEats In Spain we have our own kebabs, they are called Pinchos morunos, which means "moor's skewers" more or less, moruno means "related to the Moors" and the moors is an old way of refering to North African people, barely in use anymore, our kebabs can be chicken or pork and rarely beef or lamb, but those are kind of a more rare thing, any supermarket or butchery will have pork or chicken and there's the red version and the yellow version
In cooking the most important thing is to understand concepts then ingredients. When you understand a main concept then you try it with some ingredients but you can always innovate , you are not stuck in a recipe .
@@MiddleEats I've made mexican flavored chicken kebabs using these methods. I definitely appreciate your content and methods of teaching!
As a Turkish person I can say that the onion juice, yoğurt, tomato paste (salça) recipe is 100% authentic. Every region have their own versions and there are slight differences depending on where you are eating. But this was exactly, how my mom was doing it :)
It looks delicious
As a Turkish person , how do you feel about Turkey's genocide of Armenians ?
@stelab22 Indifferent. Because accusations made with anti Turkic/racist sentiments & political reasons and not historical facts are invalid for any logical person. Turkey, repeatedly offered to create an investigatory board by historians from both sides to investigate the truth. They offered to open the entire historical registries from Ottoman Empire time and early Turkish Republic. This offer of course were never taken into consideration and instead only political ground were used to disperse false facts. The biggest proof of this also comes from the Armenians themselves. The first prime minister of Armenia, Hovhannes Kajaznuni, in his manifesto book, accepts the fact that Armenian's, with independence promise, were manipulated by SSCB and attacked civilians and that there were no other solution that Ottomans could implement in the middle of a huge war they are losing, than the forced migration of aggressors to safe regions. The books name is "THE ARMENIAN REVOLUTIONARY FEDERATION
(DASHNAGTZOUTIUN)
HAS NOTHING TO DO ANY MORE
THE MANIFESTO". Just go and find an old translation of the book. Because the book was banned in Armenia for decades and then later they printed edited versions of it :) Another proof that this is anti-turkish/racist sentiment and politic is you yourself. If you are writing this in a food related video, just because I mentioned I am turkish. That proves that some of you are just living off on anti-Turkish sentiment and always have this rhetoric in your mind even while watching a food video :) Good luck with that in your life.
Do you deliver?!!
1x Large chicken kebab and Persian rice with salad.
@@Visiblyblue never happend, but they deserved it.
thats what you get for backstabbing the ummah
Being from Iran, I really appreciate you looking into the recipe from my home and it sounded pretty on point to me. I dont know if you know about the crispy rice at the bottom of the pan which we call Tahdig or not but a saffrony yoghurty Tahdig with kebab juices seeping into it at the top of the rice is the sign of a really tasty kebab dish in Iran. Thank you for bringing our tastes to the world.
Made these last night, and my daughter said "These are the best thing you've ever made." Just thought I'd let you know. Five stars!
which marinade did you do?
I love both Joojeh and turkish style kebabs 🍢 😍 for Joojeh, I like to cook the leftover onions in butter with lime and saffron and then baste the chicken with it while it's grilling 😋
Sounds amazing
Persian style for life🔥🤌🏻
In addition to the great recipes and giving context to the techniques, I really appreciate your tips on prep that make it accessible to the home cook during a busy week. I'm def going to marinate and freeze it! Also, it's very interesting that techniques like marinating with yogurt to tenderize the meat are also used in indian cooking. There's def more parallels I'm missing. Modern south asian populations are a mix of the native hunter gathers, iranian agriculturalists and afghan pastoralists and there's for sure a bunch more factors that brought techniques/recipes over to the indian subcontinent.
Thank you so much for providing us with great recipes. I’ve tried numerous recipes of yours, such as chicken and beef shawarma, kabsa… can’t wait to try this one out, especially the iranian version :)
I love this channel. The passion for the food and teaching really comes through. I hope you keep this up. I recently started trying to cook middle eastern food and these videos are a great help.
Thank you!
Thanks for your great videos!! By the way, another method that I've found effective for those of us who prefer chicken breasts is to make sure the meat is room temperature before cooking it. Never take it right out of the fridge and cook it. If you're in a rush, just take it out and leave it on the counter for about 20-30 minutes. Comes out great every time (of course, I do this along with marinating it).
Your channel is so underrated. You narrate all the steps super well and I find your presentation just beautiful 😍 Definitely made me hungry after watching this. Thanks!
I've used these techniques a couple times now and they've revolutionised my chicken cooking experience!
omg! this is the unspoken i need. family bbq this weekend and i’m using the turkish marinade for chicken and the saffron/lime marinade for some tiger prawns. flatbreads with the spiced oil, pickled red onions, garlic cucumber yoghurt sauce. this is going to be a legendary meal. thank you for your recipes, they never fail to amaze
I'd suggest also checking out the Turkish kisir recipe I made a long time ago as a side dish. It is the single greatest side for a bbq ever! Good luck and send me some photos!
i just found this channel and have binging all of your videos. literally obsessed and love finding arabs who love their heritage and share it with the world and proud of who they are. love love this and will be making it soon
These recipes look ridiculously delicious!! Thank you for posting, I am going to make this for My Parents, love your channel!
I have been preferring to use chicken thighs for chick kababs or shish tawook as we call it in Egypt ; ) until I got around the chicken breast drying issue by adding a teaspoon of starch in the marinade like Chinese recipes do and massaging it in the chicken for couple of minutes , this really helps in sealing the external gaps in the chicken breast fibers and prevent them from losing their juices and drying up when grilled or stir fried, also a nice dash of oil will be needed as well to prevent the starch from sticking to the skillet
What kind of starch do you use forthis method? corn starch?
@@hillarytitus7035 corn starch and massage it in the chicken for 5 minutes
@@hillarytitus7035 use arrow root
@@hillarytitus7035 since it's Chinese, I think it's corn starch of potato starch
@@hillarytitus7035 Tapioca starch is also legit. In my country we mostly use tapioca starch for marination because it is easier to find and is cheaper than corn starch and potato starch.
To be honest, I think any flour is okay since you only use very small amount for marination. My father uses about 2-3 teaspoons of starch for one kilo of meat.
I love this channel! Thank you so much for the amazing recipes👍
I will buy your cook book when it is published. Thank you for making these videos. You have introduced me to recipes I will make for the rest of my life. Foods that I dream about.
Yum can’t wait to make it😋 thank you great video and editing❤️
Thank you so much, it looks amazing
I'm making this for dinner tonight
Thank you for a delicious recipe that I can't wait to taste!!!
❤️🙏❤️
That red pepper / tomato marinade is the bomb!! been making it for the last few weeks and we can't get enough. Also the grilling technique you use has been great. Chicken so moist. awesome video. thanks
Looks so good. Thanks for the recipes!
I am going to try these in my rotisserie air fryer.
oh my goodness that looks incredible! And you made it look so easy too :) Thanks so much!
Obi, I tried your Turkish kebab recipe tonight and made a 5.5lbs batch (two chickens broken down) for the boys and me. We grilled up the chicken kebabs and some tomato kebabs, made your yogurt garlic sauce, and turmeric rice. It was a wonderful feast, and we had a fantastic time eating incredible food inspired by you! Thank you for your content
As a Turkish person I can say that the recipe is 100% authentic. Exactly, how it was supposed to be done :)
How much did you add to the marinade? Since you made more than his recipe called for. Just wondering for my self!
I had the luck to try several kebabs in Iran itself. All of them are soo great! Doesn't matter if it is meat or vegetables. All are covered in spices and grilled on charcoal. One of the best I ever had!
Very few to no spices in Iranian kebabs
This is awesome! Thank you.
Timestamps in video and description, ingredients and steps for each food item including sauces in description......finally someone gets what it's like trying to cook from UA-cam videos, thank you!
Thank you🙏🏻great tips and packed with lots of useful info.
Amazing video, exactly what I’ve been looking for.
These chicken kebab recipes are absolutely going into my weeknight food rotation, I don’t think there’s anything more delicious than a really good chicken kebab with the right sauces (toum, or yogurt, or tahina), a pita bread, and a little salad. 😋
Simply Amazing! Can’t wait to try this at home!
ive been trying a few of your recipes and they all turned out pretty good
Some great methods and sauces. I especially like the idea of making some and freezing it in the marinade for a quick dinner.
You rocked the joojeh kabab !!!!!!!! So happy to see an Iranian recipe 😊 the Turkish chicken was amazing too.
Absolutely brilliant video.
I love your recipes. Thank you
Oh this is a dream come true for me. I eat grilled marinated chicken 2-3 times a week and know only like 3 types of marinates. These recepies are something completely new and looks so delectable. I can't wait to try these !!
So many great tips in this video!! I am starting a chicken and small portion of rice and salad on the side for dinner every night, and I could eat kebabs every day for the rest of my life and not get sick of them. I am so excited to try these techniques. Thanks so much!
Thank you , can’t wait to try 😊
Thank you for sharing!
Dude, that looks HEAVENLY
Good man! Thank you.
Thank you obi! Didn’t know it was this easy to do the Iranian kebab! That is the dish I go to Iranian restaurants to have!
I use this recipe many time. It always amazing. My friends always ask me to do this. Thank for good recipe
Thanks bud, going to give them a try as look very tasty!
Oh, Yess!!! Will do this for my family tonight! 🥰🫠😋
I made a version of this with ingredients I had lying around, tried the broiling method and it came out pretty good for my first try!
Really good kabob and saffron rice recipes.
Thanks for sharing!
Love your recipes, don't stop.
You saved the day for me sir. Thank you
I just came across your channel and am obsessed!! I'm going to try all three of these marinades! Love how thoughtful and thorough you are. Subscribed! 👍
Thanks, hope you enjoy the recipes!
Good lord that final dish looks incredible!
I made the Turkish kebabs and they were outstanding. No leftovers! Using onion juice was a revelation. I had heard about it from my neighbour who is from Iran but this is the first time I actually used it myself. The kebabs were super juicy. I cooked them in the air fryer, again inspired by your other video, so all in all I have winner here. Plan to make more often and extend the use to other types of kebabs. Thanks for sharing.
Looks lovely , i'll give these a try at the weekend !!..........thanks !
Dude, I'm drooling! Looks delicious.
I made the first version of kebabs along with the saffron rice and they were both fantastic!!! I didn't have Turmeric, but substituted in a little bit of Cumin powder instead. Then I grilled the chicken on the BBQ. I was tempted to add a little more salt, but decided not to and I'm glad I didn't. The chicken was absolutely delicious. The rice was as good as any restaurant. Thank You!!!
Really looking forward to trying these recipes….they look amazing. I’d love a slightly less high speed delivery though….your food is wonderful and I’d happily devote the time to watch more chilled, slightly slower videos!!
Speed can be selected from the upper right corner.
Thank you for being straight to the point 👊🏼🤙🏻
This recipe is an instant fave. Definitely making it for my house
Can't wait to try this at the weekend. Thank you!
How did it turn out
Made the under the broiler version on a rack, truly excellent and can't believe I haven't tried the technique before.
Wow! Turmeric and saffron together... Talk about beautiful colour!!
as a Persian...you did great .... Jojeh is my fav kebab and you did a great job here...
All your recipes are so delicious and to the point. Thank you! You deserve more subscribers.
Çok teşekkürler for this - it has changed my life!!!
i like the look of this i will be trying this out soon thanks for the great tutorial keep up the good work thanks
I was really happy with how this turned out! First time using the oven grill method, I was sure I was going to overcook my chicken breast but 6 minutes, flip, two minutes worked very well.
I substituted gochujang in for the red pepper paste in the turkish style marinade and idk how authentic it tastes but it is yummy.
served with turkish bread, a yogurt lemon garlic sauce from a different video of yours, onion capsicum and sriracha on top xD
Every recipe I have tried from this channel has impressed me. Need to stop doubting.
Just wow…. Liked the recipe a lot! Good quality videos that don’t fail to impress me 😀
If I had to pick only one type of cuisine to eat for the rest of my life, it would be this. Middle Eastern. Great video, thanks. Subscribed.
Nice cooking techniques chef.
Thank you so much .
I made the turkish one and it was delicious
God bless you
Your videos are awesome. hope you get the recognition you deserve
Wallahi your videos make me so hungry man. I learned your skewer trick from the shawerma video and it’s seriously life-changing. Thank you!
In Iran we add saffron liquid to chicken pieces first so you don’t waste the precious saffron and then add the rest of ingredients 😋👌
Wonderful!
I just tried the turkish kebab recipe and it was beautiful! Just like the restaurants, so good!
I have to try at least one of these also the takeaway style garlic sauce omg! I must try it I love that stuff so much. I bet it tastes amazing. Thank you
Going to try this recipe.
Wow! You do an excellent job. Keep it up.
I love your channel great recipes and technique 😍🌹😋🌺❤️💐
Those are definitely inspiring!
Thank You!!!
I agree. any form of chicken kabob is just amazing....I love persian chicken kabob...but that turkish recipe is absolutely insanely delicious...turkish doner has to be one of the greatest culinary accomplishments in all of human history. thank you Obi.....I have to be 1/2 turkish 1/2 persian 1/2 shawarma...love them all.
In a wrap, Turkish sis, on rice, Joojeh Kebab. That seems like a good equitable split.
@@MiddleEats You are a true diplomat my friend. LOL.... rich or happy? stupid question... I'll take both :)
The onion of the juice makes sense, didn't even think about that before. Good man, top tips!
WOW ! GREAT COOKING TECHNIQUES ❤ 🇹🇷
