Lebanese BBQ - Lahem Meshwi Recipe

Tradional lahem meshwi – AKA lamb skewers – are an essential offering at any credible Lebanese barbecue. Everyone loves them, especially if you make them like this:

Yallabouli

Yallabouli uses similar ingredients to the traditional, much-loved tabouli. But in this version, the main ingredient is burghul rather than parsley and tomatoes. Also, added tomato paste delivers a richer tomato flavour. The dish is typically eaten with pita bread but, if you can source fresh, tender vine leaves — or even cos lettuce leaves — it is even more delectable.
