Lamb tika kebab with narsharab
Narsharab is served beside the kebab, but three spoonfuls in the marinade work too: the meat softens and takes on a sweet and sour taste.
Serves 4 · 40 minutes, plus 4 hours’ marinating

You need
- 1 kg lamb (leg), in 4 cm pieces
- 3 onions
- 5 tablespoons of Qudyal narsharab: 3 for the marinade, 2 for the table
- 1 teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of sumac
- Basil, dill and a handful of pomegranate seeds
Method
- Grate one onion, squeeze its juice over the meat, add the salt, pepper and 3 spoonfuls of narsharab, mix and leave in the fridge for 4 hours.
- Thread the meat onto skewers with a finger’s width between the pieces, so they brown on every side.
- Cook over the coals for 12–15 minutes, turning every 3 minutes.
- Slice the remaining onions into thin rings and toss them with the sumac.
- Serve the kebab with the onions, herbs and pomegranate seeds, with the narsharab in a small bowl on the side.
