Shish tawook
The dish is very simple, and the species are very easy to find. The only difference is that if you are more forward-thinking than I am, marinate the chicken the night before. I didn't remember, and I made it in the morning, marinating it for three hours... and it was fantastic.

Ingredients
- 750 gr chicken breast
- 1 natural yogurt
- 2 c / s extra virgin olive oil
- 2 c / s lemon juice
- 3 or 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 c / s tomato paste
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 1 each baharat (if you can't get them, see the composition below)
- 1 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 c / c sweet paprika
- 1 c / c sumac (sumac, azumaque)
- 1 c / p cardamom seeds
- 1 c / p scented cloves
- 1/2 tbsp black peppercorns
- 1 c / p coriander seeds
- 1/2 c / p turmeric
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 1/2 c / paprika smoked sweet paprika
Instructions
- If you don't have the baharat spices (I didn't, so I made the spice mix at home), first make the spice mix and set it aside.
- We combine all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl and beat them with some rods. Add the chicken breast, cut into as many equal pieces as possible. Mix well with the yogurt and spices and set aside for at least 3 hours to marinate, or prepare the night before and refrigerate.
- After that, we'll thread the chicken pieces onto skewers and place them in a roaster that's been lightly oiled with olive oil.
- When the skewers are finished, we serve them with salad and the sauce that I used in the roasted cauliflower salad with yogurt sauce.
