A traditional Albanian dish featuring grilled lamb skewers with aromatic spices.
Tirana Ferëz is a popular Albanian dish that showcases tender and flavorful grilled lamb skewers. The lamb is marinated in a blend of aromatic spices, garlic, and lemon juice, resulting in a delicious and fragrant dish. It is often served with a side of fresh salad and bread.
Ingredients
- Lamb — 500 grams, cut into cubes
- Garlic — 3 cloves, minced
- Olive oil — 2 tablespoons
- Lemon juice — 2 tablespoons
- Paprika — 1 teaspoon
- Ground cumin — 1 teaspoon
- Ground coriander — 1 teaspoon
- Salt — to taste
- Black pepper — to taste
- Fresh parsley — for garnish
- Lemon wedges — for serving
Directions
1. In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a marinade.
2. Add the lamb cubes to the marinade and toss to coat them evenly. Let the lamb marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the marinated lamb cubes onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Place the lamb skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the lamb is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
6. Remove the lamb skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
7. Garnish the Tirana Ferëz with fresh parsley and serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
8. Enjoy this delicious Albanian dish with a side of salad and bread.
