Who Doesn’t Love a Juicy Kebab Wrapped in Fried Flatbread?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This plate of food is a mix of cultures and began with my craving for chicken kebabs. I knew what flavors I wanted for the kebabs, and also intended to make a flatbread of some sort to wrap up those chunks of chicken. I love to bake breads and flatbreads are one of my favorites. While trying to decide which recipe to use, I happened across one for a type of flatbread I\u2019d never encountered called bara. It\u2019s a fried bread and from what I read it is typically found in Guyanese street food and India, among other places. The particular recipe I selected hails from Trinidad, where the bara are served 2 at a time with a chickpea filling, and are called Doubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve no doubt that filling is delicious, but I wanted to serve them with my kebabs. Flavored with cumin and turmeric, I knew they\u2019d be a perfect match. The dough is very wet, but was very easy to work with and roll out. As long as I used plenty of flour, I had no issues with it sticking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They puffed beautifully when they hit the hot oil and we couldn\u2019t resist eating a couple all by themselves. After all, this is fried bread, which I think is one of the most delicious foods imaginable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Freshly<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I used boneless skinless chicken thighs for my kebabs because they stay juicy and aren\u2019t as likely to dry out as are chicken breasts. I chose Syrian inspired flavors for the marinade – yogurt, lemon, garlic, tomato paste, za\u2019atar, Aleppo pepper, etc. After sitting for a few hours, I threaded them onto skewers and put them under the broiler. When they were almost done, I brushed them with honey and placed them back under the broiler for a couple more minutes, until they charred. I think these may be the best chicken kebabs I\u2019ve ever made. They\u2019re at least in my Top Two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wanting a salad to add to the meal, I continued with the Syrian theme and made my own version of the classic onion and parsley salad known as Biwaz. Parsley leaves, sliced red onion, sumac, pomegranate molasses, olive oil, salt and pepper, and pomegranate arils are simply combined and that\u2019s all there is to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What a spectacular meal this was. The chicken kebabs were wrapped in the bara with some of the bright fresh salad and each bite was better than the last. Simply splendid! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
