Method

Lamb Kebab Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Lamb Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

  2. 2

    Form the Kebabs

    Shape the lamb mixture into kebab skewers or patties, pressing them firmly to hold together. Place them on a tray.

  3. 3

    Cook the Kebabs

    Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Cook the kebabs for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and browned. Set aside.

Homemade Bread Preparation

  1. 4

    Activate the Yeast

    In a bowl, mix warm water and active dry yeast. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.

  2. 5

    Make the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic. Cover with a cloth and let it rise for 1 hour.

  3. 6

    Shape and Bake the Bread

    Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F). Shape the risen dough into flat rounds and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Tomato Sauce Preparation

  1. 7

    Cook the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add tomato puree, salt, black pepper, and oregano. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Homemade Yogurt Preparation

  1. 8

    Prepare the Yogurt

    In a saucepan, heat the milk until just below boiling. Remove from heat and let cool to about 43°C (110°F). Stir in the plain yogurt. Cover and let it sit in a warm place for 6-8 hours or overnight until set.

Melted Butter Preparation

  1. 9

    Melt the Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat until fully liquid. Set aside for serving.
