Treat your ingredients with care...

• Lamb or beef — Choose lean cuts of meat for a healthier option. If using lamb, trim off excess fat to reduce the overall fat content.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra kick of flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
• Soaking the wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
• Serve the chislic with a side of tzatziki sauce or a spicy chimichurri for dipping.

Serving advice

Serve the grilled chislic skewers as an appetizer or a main course. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color.

Presentation advice

Arrange the skewers on a platter, allowing the charred meat to take center stage. Serve with a side of dipping sauce and garnish with lemon wedges for a vibrant presentation.
