Lamb Kebab with Tahini Sauce


Photo: Jill Schweber

These kebabs are very popular in Israel and throughout the Middle East. They are full of flavor and can be made as a last minute dinner option. We chose to use lamb but ground beef also works well. This dish is more commonly served as a side but can also be a main served with rice, salad or why not a fresh pita. Don't forget our obsession with tahini, be generous!
