Afghan Chopan Kabob Recipe

Step 1

Put the red onion in a juicer and separate the juice from theground pulp. Keep it aside.

Step 2

Take a medium sized bowl and add freshly prepared onion juice,crushed garlic, yogurt (if using), salt, pepper and cilantro. Mix all the ingredients well.

Step 3

Add the lamb and lamb fat or oil in the bowl. Combine all the ingredients properly to marinate the meat. Keep the marinated meat in the refrigerator for 5-6 hours or overnight. Make sure that the bowl is covered the entire time.

Step 4

Next preheat the grill. Thread the lamb on to the skewers. If you are using the lamb fat, keep in mind to alternate the meat cubes with the fat.

Step 5

Grill for approximately 15 to 20 minutes until the meat turns brownin color and is properly cooked. Remember to turn the skewers frequently while grilling so the meat is cooked well from all sides.

Step 6

Now, take a large plate and place the lawausha or chapati on it. Separate the meat cubes from the skewers and transfer them onto the bread.

Step 7

Sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper on top of the meat and then garnish it with the tomato, onion and lemon.

Step 8

Next fold the chapati or lawausha over. This will help to keep the meat inside warm. If there is any extra lawausha or chapati left, you can simply cut it into pieces and serve separately. You can also add mixed salad if you like.
