Using fresh and high-quality cuts of lamb, chicken, and beef ensures tender and flavorful kebabs that capture the traditional Mediterranean taste. Marinating the meat with a mixture of yogurt, olive oil, garlic, and a blend of spices such as paprika, cumin, coriander, and sumac helps to tenderize and infuse the skewers with authentic flavors. Be sure to soak wooden skewers in water before grilling to prevent burning, or opt for metal skewers for better heat conduction and durability. Properly preheating your grill and using a meat thermometer will help achieve perfectly cooked kebabs without drying them out. Your Mixed Grill from Uni Kebab copycat menu will delight with its vibrant spices, fresh herbs, and tender, juicy meats served alongside warm flatbread for an irresistible Mediterranean feast.

Instructions

  • Cut lamb, chicken, and beef into cubes.
  • Combine olive oil, yogurt, minced garlic, lemon juice, paprika, cumin, coriander, sumac, cayenne, oregano, thyme, cinnamon, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl to make marinade.
  • Add meat cubes to marinade; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight).
  • Cut onion and bell peppers into large chunks.
  • Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  • Thread marinated meat, onion, and peppers onto skewers.
  • Grill skewers, turning occasionally and basting with leftover marinade, until meat is cooked through and slightly charred (use meat thermometer for doneness).
  • Warm flatbreads in flatbread warmer or basket.
  • Arrange grilled meats and vegetables on serving platter.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley, mint, and lemon wedges.
  • Serve with warm flatbread.

Substitution

The Mixed Grill from Uni Kebab copycat menu allows you to recreate a delicious Mediterranean feast with lamb, chicken, and beef skewers marinated in aromatic spices and fresh herbs. You can substitute the lamb with goat or veal if preferred, while chicken thighs may be used instead of breasts for extra juiciness. If a grill is not available, broiling or pan-searing the skewers works well without compromising flavor. When using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking. Your flatbread can be warmed in a dry pan or wrapped in foil and heated in the oven if a flatbread warmer is not at hand.

Tips

Ensure your skewers are evenly threaded with meat and vegetables to promote uniform cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperatures -- lamb and beef should reach 145degF, chicken 165degF for safe consumption. Keep leftover marinade aside for basting to enhance flavor and prevent dryness during grilling. Warm your flatbreads just before serving to maintain their softness and complement your mixed grill delight.

Nutritions

Mixed Grill from Uni Kebab provides a balanced source of high-quality protein from lamb, chicken, and beef, essential for muscle repair and satiety. The marinade's olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while the inclusion of yogurt adds probiotics and calcium. Fresh vegetables like bell peppers and onions supply vitamins C and antioxidants, supporting immune function. Your meal also includes whole flatbreads that offer carbohydrates needed for energy to complement the protein and fat content.

Storage

Store leftover mixed grill in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and flavor. For best results, separate the grilled meat and vegetables from the flatbread before storing, preventing sogginess. When reheating, use a grill or oven to restore the charred texture and aroma, ensuring your meal tastes as vibrant as when first cooked.

Variation or Alternatives

For a variation, you can substitute beef with spicy merguez sausages to add a North African twist and boost the overall umami flavor. Instead of skewering each meat separately, alternate lamb, chicken, and vegetables on the same skewer for a balanced bite every time. Use Greek yogurt combined with a splash of pomegranate molasses in the marinade to enhance the tanginess and add a subtle sweetness. You might also consider grilling the flatbreads directly on the grill grates for a light smoky aroma that complements the grilled meats perfectly.

Allergies

The Mixed Grill from Uni Kebab contains ingredients like yogurt, which may trigger dairy allergies in sensitive individuals. You should also be aware that spices such as cumin, coriander, and paprika can sometimes cause allergic reactions or intolerances. Cross-contamination with gluten or other allergens may occur in the flatbreads, so if you have food allergies, it's important to check with the restaurant before ordering.
