Recipe Tuesday – Turkish Kabobs

22nd June, 2010 - Posted by katherine - No Comments

This is another recipe adapted from my vegetarian cookbook.  It was very easy to make and it a nice light lunch – probably not enough for dinner by itself though.

Ingredients for kabobs:

• 1 eggplant
• 1 green bell pepper
• 6 roma tomatoes or plum tomatoes
• 1 onion
• 1 zucchini
• 1 lemon

Directions:

• cut veggies into chunks and put on skewers. Brush lightly with olive oil and grill on medium heat, turning frequently.

Sauce

Ingredients:

• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 and 1/2 cup of chick peas, smashed with a potato masher
• 1 cup of plain yogurt
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp chili powder
• lemon juice
• salt and pepper

Directions:

• stir in yogurt, spices, onion, and garlic. Season to taste with lemon juice, salt, and pepper.  Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve.  When kabobs are ready, gently heat the sauce and serve.
