Kabob / Skewers (Kofta & Shish Kebab)

Kebab (from Arabic كَبَاب, also spelled kabob or kabab) is one of the oldest cooked meat preparations in the world, found in some form across the entire stretch from Morocco to Central Asia. This recipe covers the two foundational types: kofta kebab (ground meat mixed with onion, parsley, and spices, moulded onto flat metal skewers) and shish kebab (cubes of marinated whole meat threaded onto skewers). Both are grilled over direct high heat — ideally charcoal, which contributes a smoky dimension that gas cannot fully replicate. The key technical difference between good and mediocre kofta is the handling of the meat mixture: it must be kneaded until it becomes cohesive and almost paste-like, and the onion must be squeezed completely dry — wet onion releases steam during grilling and causes the meat to fall off the skewer. The 7-spice blend (baharat) is the foundation of the flavor.

Lyulya Kebab (Azerbaijani Lamb Skewers)

Lyulya kebab is Azerbaijani ground-lamb skewers grilled over a mangal. The meat is kneaded long with grated onion and lamb tail fat until it turns dense and tacky — with no egg or bread, that kneading is what keeps it on the skewer. It grills to a browned crust and is served with sumac, pickled onion, and lavash.
