So for the 13th meal out of 30 from different countries was inspired by my friend taking some of us out to a Persian restaurant recently. We were able to try some wonderful Persian dishes and it gave me an idea to make this for my family. I was out on Vancouver Island visiting my parents and decided to try it out there.
These Persian kababs were made using ground beef and lamb with a whole bunch of sumac (persian spice, kind of citrus-y tasting, I use it all the time now). I paired it with some grilled tomatoes, Persian pita and a heavy dose of olive oil.
I will admit that normally these don't have grill marks on them because they are suspended about a grill on wide metal skewers. In a smaller town on Vancouver Island I wasnt able to find the wide skewers and the the meat wouldn't stay fully on the skinnier skewers we had, so I had to put them on the grill top. However, they still turned out incredibly tasty, juicy and full of flavour.
I love grilled tomatoes and these turned out great! It was great to take a bite with the tomato, the kabab and the pita with some olive oil and a sprinkle of sumac as well.
Thank you again so much for reading and thank you to Shima for the suggestion/inspiration. Please see below for photos/updated maps:
