Lamb, eggplant and pepper kebabs with yogurt sauce

30 minutes
Lamb skewers with eggplants and peppers in yogurt sauce are a harmony of flavors that combines the tenderness of meat, the smoky aroma of vegetables, and the refreshing tang of yogurt sauce. The roots of this dish trace back to the traditions of Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine, where meat and vegetables are cooked over an open flame to reveal their rich taste. A marinade with cumin and olive oil adds depth to the meat, while colorful peppers and eggplants give the skewers an appetizing texture. Grilled, they acquire a caramelized hue, and the spiced yogurt sauce perfectly complements this palette, making the flavor richer. It is an ideal dish for summer evenings outdoors, served hot alongside fresh herbs and bread.
