Turkey shashliks in Maghreb style
2 servings
30 minutes
Turkey skewers in Maghreb style are a vibrant embodiment of Arab cuisine, rich in spice aromas and subtle flavor nuances. Cumin, coriander, and fennel heated in a hot pan reveal their spicy notes, creating a unique marinade for tender turkey fillet. Paprika and turmeric give the meat a rich color and warm Eastern aroma, while olive oil keeps it juicy and tender. Marinating overnight enhances the spice flavor, infusing every piece. The finished skewers are baked to a golden crust while retaining juiciness inside. Served with tomato sauce, baba ghanoush, and pita, it creates a harmonious blend of flavors characteristic of Maghreb cuisine.
