METHOD
Lamb kebabs
- Place the onion, yoghurt, garlic, spices, lemon juice and salt into a food processor, blend until smooth.
- Pour the marinade over the lamb pieces and mix well to coat. Place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the griddle plate on medium–high heat, induction setting 7, for 7 minutes.
- Remove the lamb pieces from the marinade and thread onto the skewers. Lightly oil the kebabs.
- Place the kebabs onto the griddle plate and cook, turning often, for 10 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.
Sumac pickled onion
- Place the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and sumac into a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat, induction setting 6, or until the sugar dissolves.
- Add the onion and leave to pickle for at least 30 minutes. Drain the liquid before serving.
Pistachio and raisin bulgur salad
- Place the bulgur and stock into an unperforated steam container. Place into the steam oven and Steam at 100°C for 10 minutes. Allow to cool.
- Place the pistachios on a universal tray and into the oven on shelf level 2 on Fan Plus at 160°C, toast for 15 minutes, or until light brown. Cool and roughly chop the pistachios.
- In a large bowl, combine the bulgur and pistachios with the remaining ingredients, season to taste.
To serve
- Serve the kebabs with bulgur salad, pickled onions, warm pita bread and dips, if using.
Alternative appliance method
Oven

Hints and tips
- Lamb rump or shoulder can be used as an alternative to lamb leg.
- Make your own pita using the recipe found on our Miele Experience website.
- Yoghurt contains lactic acid, which slowly tenderizes the meat during the overnight marinade.
- The pickled onions can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for weeks.
