Shish Tawook

This is our second recipe for Shish Tawook / Shish Taouk, this time including dairy in the marinade. It is a little different in process and flavour from our other recipe (Shish Taouk ) but both are equally delicious.

It comes from the Feel Good Foodie (https://feelgoodfoodie.net/recipe/shish-tawook/), where the chicken is cooked and served on skewers (the traditional "shish", which means "skewer" in Turkish), which is great for BBQ, but for an everyday dinner we just cook it in a pan and serve it with rice and vegetables. Yum!

What makes the Feel Good Foodie marinade special ....

"Essentially the three most important ingredients in the marinade are yogurt, lemon juice and garlic (6 whole garlic cloves!). But I also add tomato paste to give it that rich red color, and some other spices including paprika, cinnamon, oregano and ginger. Mix it all together and you’ll get this orangey creamy color ready for you to coat the chicken with."
