Method
- Put the beef into a bowl and add the garlic, yogurt, the juice of ½ a lemon, allspice, tomato puree and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together so the meat is completely coated. Cover and leave to marinade for 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat the grill or BBQ to high and thread the beef onto the skewers. Pop onto a grill tray and grill for 3-4 minutes a side until charred and super tender. Squeeze over the juice of half a lemon and season with a little salt. This makes the flavours pop.
- Meanwhile, put the onion into a mixing bowl and add the juice of a lemon and a good pinch of salt. Toss together and leave to macerate for 10 minutes. Add the parsley and sumac and mix well.
- Arrange the breads in a layer on a warming serving dish. Top with kebabs. Drizzle over plenty of amba and tahini and serve immediately with the onions piled high on the dish.
