Hi all Courtney Roulston here, with another Aussie favourite, Chicken Shish Kebabs. Australia is such an amazing melting pot of cultures and cuisines and we are so lucky that we get to celebrate such diversity with our food, not to mention some of the best produce in the world. You'll find the full recipe online just search Coles and Co. There's also lots of other delicious and inspiring recipes for me and some of your other Aussie favourite chefs.
So I'm starting with about 750 grams of Coles chicken thighs, I'm gonna spice things up with some ground cumin, some ground cinnamon, the zest of a lemon, a few good grinds of black pepper, season with some sea salt and a couple of tablespoons extra virgin olive oil. Just give that a mix around and you can set that aside for around 20 to 30 minutes just to marinade.
Our chicken has been marinating and I've got he some wooden sticks and these have been soaking in some water for about 30 minutes, it's just stops and burning on the barbecue. Now there's no better way to because she's good bad then over the coals. Smokey, but it’s tasty. While our chicken is cooking, we can make a really simple little, like a shepherd salad or Turkish salad to go with our shish kebabs.
So in the bowl here I’ve got a mixture of some red onion, some baby cucumbers and some really roughly torn parsley, this is just something really fresh to go with our kebabs. I'm simply gonna dress our Shepard salad with some sumac, some sea salt and some extra virgin olive oil. Just give that a toss though and that can marinate while our chicken is on the barbecue. Now every barbecue needs a sauce to go with the meat.
Really simple to make I've got about a cup each of flat leaf parsley and coriander going into a jug. I'm adding in Tahini paste. Season with some sea salt, then add in the juice of a lemon and then just to balance out the acidity in the lemons some maple syrup. Blend that with a stick blender until it's beautiful and thick and bright green. Just time to plate this up now. I love to serve this with some fresh soft Lebanese bread on the side.
That is a winning combination, a traditional Turkish dish that has become a real favourite in our house. That is my chicken shish kebabs, this is a great value meal will feed your family for under $5 a per serve. For this recipe and loads more inspiring recipe, head on over to Coles.com.au.
