Ingredients

Method

  1. Cut the chicken into inch cubes and marinate them in half the yogurt with the garlic, spices, salt and the lemon juice for at least twenty minutes. Pour 2/3 cup (160 ml) boiling water over the bulgur, cover and leave it while the chicken marinates.
  2. Cut the pepper, zucchini and onion into inch pieces and thread them on their own skewers, the chicken on others — they cook at different speeds.
  3. Brush the vegetables with the oil and grill on a very hot pan, 5–6 minutes a side for the chicken, to 165°F (74°C), and 4 for the vegetables. Fluff the bulgur with a fork and serve the skewers on it with the rest of the yogurt.
Chef’s tipSeparate skewers. The picture on the menu has them mixed. The chicken on those skewers is either raw or dry, and usually both.
Make it twoDoubles cleanly; the marinade works up to four hours but not overnight — the acid starts to make the meat chalky.
