Meats

Marinade

Accompaniments

Method

Prepare the Marinade

  1. 1

    Blend Marinade Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well until combined.

Marinate the Meats

  1. 2

    Marinate Chicken Thighs

    Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

  2. 3

    Marinate Lamb Chops

    In another resealable bag, place the lamb chops and pour the remaining marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

  3. 4

    Marinate Beef Kofta

    In a bowl, mix the ground beef with the remaining marinade until well incorporated. Shape into kofta (oval-shaped meatballs) and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Cook the Meats

  1. 5

    Grill Chicken Thighs

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).

  2. 6

    Grill Lamb Chops

    Grill the lamb chops for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness is reached.

  3. 7

    Cook Beef Kofta

    Using skewers, thread the kofta and grill for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until cooked through.

Prepare the Accompaniments

  1. 8

    Warm Pita Bread

    Wrap the pita bread in foil and place it on the grill for a few minutes to warm through.

  2. 9

    Serve the Platter

    On a large serving platter, arrange grilled chicken, lamb chops, and beef kofta. Serve with hummus, tabbouleh, pickled vegetables, tzatziki sauce, and warm pita bread.
