Turkish Beef Kabobs

Obviously I'm not Turkish, so I include this disclaimer that they are really just Turkish-inspired. That said, I started with a flank steak and cubed it up, then rubbed them all in the following spice mix.

• 2 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried mint
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

The squash and zucchini got the same blend plus some olive oil to make it stick.

Cooking was on a charcoal grill, so I leave it to you to know your grill and cooking preferences.

I made some ezme for a condiment, which consists of:

• 2 ripe tomatoes
• ½ onion
• ½ red pepper (capsicum)
• ½ green pepper (capsicum)
• 1 long green chilli
• 10 g parsley
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1 tsp red wine vinegar
• ¾ tsp sumac
• 1 tsp pomogranate molasses

If you're out of sumac (like I was) you can add some lemon juice or you can substitute sorrel for the parsley. All of that gets processed to your preferred texture in a food processor.

The naan is just from the ALDI down the road.
