    Wow, great stuff! I love Lebanese cooking but I never learned how.[p]Those lamb kabobs farther down the page look absolutely fantastic!
    Can you expand a little on the marinade you made?

    Man, that looks good! So now I have on my list of things to do today is make yogurt as I'm almost out. Then I'll need to make flat bread. We have ground lamb in the freezer so I'm good. We found a new butcher shop at Lakeside Poultry and Meats in the Milwaukee Public Market, a downtown European style maretplace. They have prime lamb, locally raised, the best I have seen. I bought thick cut lamb chops and grilled them on Christmas day, outstanding. [p]Thanks for the pic's and inspiration.

    Flashback Bob,
    lemon juice, olive oil, mint, garlic, and herbs de province a little salt. juice from 2 lemons and an equal amount of olive oil then a few shakes of granulated garlic, a tbl of dried mint and herbs de province. i used rosemary branches as skewers, if i used regular skewers i would have used rosemary in the marinade also. i only marinade lamb for a short time for these as i still want to taste the lamb, and you need to be careful to only cook to medium rare. i cooked raised grill to 120 at 300 dome, took them off and increased the heat, then quickly seared them for color. there was some fresh mint in there as well as i was making the salad. ive eaten a lot of lebaese food, but havent made much, when im looking at recipes i tend to read a lot of them and take them apart and make something that suits my tastes. the ingrediants above went into the salad so i made a marinade with them while i had them out

    ClayQ,
    the bulgar wheat was the hard thing to find, the stuff i had was a little coarse, should have been finer. little place near me sells the best lebanese yogurt and bakes the pita breads fresh daily, should have asked them about the wheat, didnt think to ask them when i was there as i already had the coarse stuff. that yogurt has a real tang to it, not like the american stuff.

    BBQBluesStringer,
    ive never had that before, just printed out a few recipes. friend of mine makes a few thousand stuffed grape leaves every summer when the concord grapes on the roadside have the right sized leaves, makes them with an italian sauce which is a bit different, his wifes italian. fills his freezer with different sized packages for company, holidays, trips etc. ive eaten a ton of them on fishing trips, maybe ill make some of those for next summers trip to share. i neeed to make something that he likes so maybe i can get his recipe, hes been aweful stubborn about giving info on how he makes them, they are not traditionally made, they are big like stuffed cabbage, not the tightly rolled grape leave style

    cant go wrong with that. when i hear that someones says they dont like lamb you gotta think they havent had it prepared right, how can anyone not like it.

    i havent seen that in a long time. do you think its still served over at the Phoenician where most of the staff went after they closed. how many here would eat spiced raw ground lamb, its very sweet and delicious. i think shadies in methuen will make it for you if you ask. kibbee used to be everywhere when i was a kid, served for breakfast with eggs, and lunch in sandwhiches at the little chicken bbq shacks in lawrence. thats another thing no longer seen is the chicken bbq, pulled chicken with mayo sandwiches.

    The tang is an indicator of the real stuff and my wife is not happy if my yogurt doesn't have a good tang to it. A long incubation is the key. You have a great store to shop at with fresh pita and real yogurt. I love that stuff. A quick dipping sauce is made from yogurt, Penzeys Greek Seasoning and some olive oil to smooth it out. Stir it up and rest in the frig for a couple of hours and it's ready.

    As a kid we used to eat raw kibby on bread with a big slice of sweet onion, jud-da-da and grapeleaves. No Big Green Egg, but a lot of love from the kitchen!
