"Great for a summer barbeque, make them a s fiery as you wish by adding more cayenne pepper. You will need metal skewers with wide flat blades to hold the meat in place on the grill. From Modern Moroccan by Ghillie Basan"

  1. The meat was nice and spicy, but a bit dry. I also thought the chickpeas tasted better before they went into the oven. I did enjoy the meal, overall. Made for ZWT 6.
     
  2. This is a compromise rating. The kebabs themselves didn't really thrill us so we would have rated them at 3 stars. But the chickpee puree would have gotten a 5-star rating by itself. I doubt I'll make the kebabs again but DH and I agree that the chickpea puree will be a wonderful addition to the starch-side roation. After all, nutrition experts are always trying to get people to eat more beans. If this combination of spices in the meat excites you more than it excited us and you don't have a set of middle-eastern, metal skewers (I got mine at a thrift store), I'm sure you could make them as a hamburger-type patty. But I really think the star of this recipe is the chickpea puree.

Hello, thought I should update this page a wee bit now we have a new furbaby called Bismila as well as our beloved Maddie who is the star of the photo. I live with my husband Keir in the North East of Scotland between Inverness and Aberdeen, it is very beautiful here. My DH is a keen salmon fisherman and is in the right place to do this! I ran my own pubs and restaurants for many years until arthritis made catering just too much for me, I am 'semi' retired now and can't seem to drag myself away from this site. I have met some wonderful people here and made good friends for which I am eternally grateful. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/9dcd2f11.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/food%20and%20swaps/Purple-Swap-AM-Banner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i497.photobucket.com/albums/rr336/jess4freedom/Zaar%20banners/saltpepper_amtag.jpg" border="0" alt="Salt and Pepper"> <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w115/bugh8er/Halloween/4811_180750-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
