Shish Tawook
This is one of my favorite Middle Eastern recipes! Chicken pieces are marinated in a brightly flavorful, warmly spiced, lemon and yogurt sauce then grilled to tender, juicy perfection. It’s easy to make and pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides.

2
In a medium mixing bowl whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, tomato paste, garlic, ginger, paprika, cumin, oregano, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.
