Mishkaki recipe is a popular East African dish of grilled meat skewers. It is made with a variety of meats, including beef, lamb, chicken, or goat. The meat is marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices, then grilled to perfection.
Ingredien
- 1 pound beef, lamb, chicken, or goat, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the meat, lemon juice, olive oil, ginger, garlic, turmeric powder, cumin powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the meat.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- When ready to cook, preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Skewer the meat, alternating with onion and bell pepper pieces if desired.
- Grill the mishkaki for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as rice, ugali, or chapati.
Tips:
- For a more intense flavor, marinate the meat for longer, up to 24 hours.
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Baste the mishkaki with the marinade while grilling to keep them moist and flavorful.
Enjoy!
