Skillet Kebab with Bell Peppers and Tomatoes
Spicy, smoky, juicy and delicious, kebabs have become a classic all over the world. It’s no wonder because kebab dishes are based on grilled and roasted meat, so they’re quick to prepare, wonderfully hearty and adaptable. Savoury, and served with fluffy flatbread, a simple salad or chilled dips, these little balls of meat are the perfect soul food, whether they’re prepared as scoops, patties or skewers.
During the month of Ramadan, when Muslims fast from sunup to sundown, friends and family celebrate the end of the fasting day with a big meal that often includes kebabs. Turkish food blogger and content creator Ümit Memisoglu shares his authentic and easy recipe for sheet kebabs with us. For his recipe, he places the seasoned meat-vegetable mixture in an Ooni cast-iron pan and garnishes the dish with cherry tomatoes, Turkish peppers and a spicy sauce before being baked to juicy, tender perfection.
And if you want to turn up the authenticity a notch, leave your oven on and bake some flatbreads while preparing the rest of your ingredients. Serve with a crispy salad, a nice pilaf or your favourite rice dish), and Ramadan Mubarak!
