Ingredients:

  • 4 large onions
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 round pita breads
  • 2 tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 large tomatoes
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 large chili peppers

Directions:

  1. First make the marinade for the meat.
  2. Place onions in a food processor and process till liquid, discard any remaining onion pulp.
  3. Mix salt, pepper, olive oil, and onion juice in a bowl.
  4. Add diced or cubed lamb pieces and marinade overnight or for 24 hours.
  5. Place marinaded lamb pieces onto a skewer and cook on grill, basting with more marinade until brown and tender all over, approximately 10-15 minutes.
  6. While the meat is cooking you can prepare the Iskender plate.
  7. Warm pita on the grill on both sides and keep warm.
  8. When everything is ready then slice the pita into squares, divide into 4 portions and place as a layer on each plate.
  9. Crush garlic with the salt and add into yogurt, mix well, add extra salt to taste.
  10. Spoon onto the pita squares just before adding hot lamb kebabs.
  11. Cut tomatoes in half and grill slowly until hot, don't overcook, as they will become too soft and soggy.
  12. Repeat with the chilli peppers.
  13. Mix tomato puree with olive oil and pepper and heat in a small saucepan, add salt to taste, and drizzle over kebabs as it is the meat sauce.
  14. Garnish with the grilled tomatoes and chili peppers, and sprigs of fresh dark green parsley or mint.
