Method

Chicken Tawouk Marinade and Skewers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Marinade

    In a large bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, tomato paste, olive oil, paprika, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut chicken breasts into 1.5-inch cubes. Add the chicken to the marinade and mix well to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Skewer and Grill the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil. Grill chicken skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.

Seasoned Rice

  1. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and chopped onion. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

  2. 5

    Add Rice and Spices

    Add the rice, turmeric, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir for 1-2 minutes to toast the rice slightly and coat it in the spices.

  3. 6

    Cook the Rice

    Add chicken broth or water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.

Hummus

  1. 7

    Blend the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed. Drizzle in olive oil while blending until creamy.

  2. 8

    Adjust and Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with extra olive oil if desired.

Salad

  1. 9

    Combine Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine diced tomato, cucumber, sliced red onion, and chopped parsley.

  2. 10

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with lemon juice and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Accompaniments

  1. 11

    Prepare the Sides

    Warm the pita bread briefly in a dry skillet or oven. Arrange pickles in a small serving bowl.
