Egyptian Fish Kebabs Recipes

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into 1 inch cubes, 16 in total.
• Combine the yogurt, salt, turmeric, mustard, curry powder, cardamon, lemon juice and vinegar in a non reactive bowl. Add chicken cubes and let sit in fridge 30-45 minutes.
• Soak skewers in water.
• Thread chicken, onions and tomatoes onto skewers alternating as follows: chicken-onion-chicken-onion-tomato- onion-chicken-onion-chicken-onion.
• Grill or broil about 8-10 minutes, turning half way through cooking time.
• Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.

Steps:

• Kebobs: Put the salmon, halibut and tuna in a resealable plastic bag. In a medium bowl whisk together the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the oil mixture over the fish and seal the bag. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Thread each skewer with 2 pieces of salmon, 2 pieces of halibut and 2 pieces of tuna, alternating the fish on the skewers.
• Butter: In a small bowl, mix together the butter, garlic and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the butter to the center of a 6-inch-square piece of plastic wrap. Fold the plastic over the butter and form it into a log, about 4-inches long and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate until firm, about for 1 hour. Slice the butter into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices and transfer them to a plate.
• Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Season the fish with salt and pepper, to taste, and grill the skewers until opaque, about 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve the butter alongside.

Steps:

• KEBAB MARINADE Combine vinegar, salt and pepper, shake well.
• Marinate fish for at least 1 hour.
• Thread fish, fruit and vegetables onto skewers, alternating.
• Brush kebabs with remaining marinade.
• Place skewers on grill 4 inches above coals. Cook only until edges of fish begin to curl.

Steps:

• To make relish, put pomegranate seeds in heavy bowl and mash with a pestle or wooden spoon to release some juices. Add salt and lemon juice, stir and set aside for about 30 minutes. Wait until just before serving to add chopped cilantro.
• Slice the fish fillets crosswise into 1 1/2-inch-wide pieces and lay them in a shallow dish. Mix together lemon juice, dill, salt and olive oil and pour mixture over fish. Flip the fish in the marinade to coat well and set aside for 30 minutes or so.
• Heat a charcoal or gas grill to medium, and place the grill rack about 5 inches above the coals or flame.
• Thread the fish slices on skewers with the skin side down. Place fish skin side down on rack and grill for 10 minutes, then flip and cook other side until just done, another 4 minutes or so.
• Transfer fish to a platter and garnish with onions, scallions and tomato slices, if using. Spoon some pomegranate relish over fish. Sprinkle everything lightly with salt and then generously with sumac powder.
