Petunjuk

Kebabs

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes. Or use long metal skewers -flat skewers or round ones.

Bloom the Saffron by grinding it to a powder and pouring over warm or ice cold water. Both methods work to bring out the best flavour in the Saffron. My preferred method is to use ice water.

Marinade Chicken in bloomed Saffron Water, Turmeric, Lemon Juice, Yoghurt, Garlic, Onion, Pepper and Oil.At this stage, you can marinade for 4 hours - overnight

Allow the chicken to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before using.

Skewer Chicken on to long metal skewers or use pre soaked (for 30 minutes) wooden ones if using an indoor grill/oven/stove top.You can also skewer vegetables onto separate skewers

Baste

Make a baste with Butter, Oil, Lemon Juice, Bloomed Saffron, Black Pepper. Start to get the barbecue ready and make sure the coals are hot and white because the kebabs need to cook quickly. The Kebabs should be suspended 4-5 inches above the coal.

Cook

Grill the Joojeh Kebab for 5 - 6 minutes per side Turing regularly and basting throughout.

For oven Grill for 20 - 25 minutes on a lined tray, turning and basting regularly.
