About Brochettes
Nada Kiffa’s Moroccan brochettes, or qotban, are skewers of marinated meat associated with markets, home grilling and Eid al Adha. This version selects boneless leg of lamb and optional lamb suet.
Onion, flat-leaf parsley, black pepper and olive oil flavour the meat. Cumin, salt and cayenne form a separate serving mix, with further chopped onion and parsley as garnish.
The skewers present small pieces of coloured, juicy lamb, interspersed with fat when included. Kiffa describes the kebabs as always served hot; Moroccan tea is a suggested accompaniment.
