    Well, all those ex-muslim authors like Ibn Warraq say that Arabs never had a true identity so they just copy other peoples ideas and take it as their own. Then again, I'm not a fan of Ibn Warraq.

    lol... Well Kebabs are one thing the Arabs do very well - in fact I would say no one barbecues/roasts meat better than the Lebanese.

    I would never go to an Asian restaurant to eat kebabs - but for curries and byriani, samosas etc...  Afro

    It's doesn't have the same flavour and texture when you grill it - you need flames or really hight heat as in frying to bring out the delicious taste of the meat.

    I didnt know that, I always grill it but you might be right and it could dry out the meat.

    I have metal skewer sticks, that I might just use directly above the gas flame on the cooker to cook them next time.

    No that's not a good idea - if you don't have a proper place to barbecue them, then you should fry them - trust me - you will see the difference.

    And make sure you use good fresh lamb - (it doesn't have to be very lean - some fat is good and tasty - but it must be fresh lamb - none of this mutton mince lol  Tongue)

    Very simple! Does it not taste a bit bland without any spices? What are the traditional spices used in Arab cooking?

    I might try this out this week, I like the simplicity of it. 

    I fancy stuffing a few lamb kebabs in a freshly toasted pitta bread, chilli sauce, and lots of salad.

    What do you normally serve them with Hass?

    They have all sorts of spices - varying from region to region. But most would not add too many spices to barbecued/roast/grilled meat. If you have good quality fresh lamb it really doesn't need to have it's taste smothered by too many spices.

    Fresh corriander and salt are all that is needed!

    Anyone been to a good Lebanese restaurant and eaten the variety of barbecued/roast lamb dishes? If so you will know that good meat only needs cooking well and it is delicious on it's own.

    Mutton on the other hand needs the life stewing out of it to make it tender and then loads of spices to to make it tasty.

    Fresh lamb doesn't need that.

    agree with Hass - also when you grill it in this fashion, you also get the barbecue flavour, on top of the meat, red onion & coriander, so there already a lot going on.

    That sounds delicious. I remember loving Shawarma on the streets of Medina, made with real meat rather than all the processed stuff you can get in rubbish take-away places. We also ate some in the arab quarter in Brussels- yum. I think i'll make some of my mum's kebabs tonight and some fresh flatbread. Afro Afro
