Zhoug & yoghurt marinade for grilled lamb and chicken
Prep 10 minutesCooking 10 minutes4 people
The chilli heat of Zhoug is tempered by the yoghurt and the natural sweetness of orange to make a versatile marinade for BBQ and grilled meats. You could also use it as a dressing for grilled vegetables by increasing the amount of yoghurt.
Ingredients
4tbsp Zhoug
5tbsp yogurt
1tbsp lemon juice
5tbsp orange juice
¼tsp salt
500g cubed lamb or chicken
Metal or wooden skewers
Instructions
- Combine the Zhoug, yoghurt, lemon and orange juices and the salt in a bowl and stir well.
- Place the meat in a container and pour the marinade over, then mix so that all of the meat has been covered. Seal and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours or ideally overnight.
- When ready to cook, thread the meat onto skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak beforehand so that they do not burn).
- Grill on a hot bbq for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until nicely coloured and charred on the outside and cooked all the way through. Remove and allow to rest for 2 minutes.
