I’ve never used yogurt when making ju jeh.. i just add 6 freshly squeezed lemons, adobo, saffron, pepper, onions… most ingredients say to use only 1 cup of fresh lemon juice but i like to put more and leave it all overnight and its really really juicy.

Iris, usually Persian kabob is marinated in yogurt. Sometimes it is simply marinated in lemon juice.

I love the cornish game hen chicken kabob at a Persian restaurant…it tastes very lemony and salty…skinless, boneless game hen pieces on a skewer…the best chicken I ever had. Is this the same recipe? I don’t think it was with yogurt.

Thank you.

I’m a beginner looking to make this grilled chicken, but I don’t think we have Sadaf here, what sort of things would you recommend that I get from my local grocery store to recreate something like Sadaf. Also, are there any other sorts of spices or herbs you would add to this?

Ashley, I believe that it there is 2oz of seasoning in each packet and the recommended amount of chicken is 1.5lb.

I bought the ingredients to try to make this but the store only sold the chicken seasoning in a plastic jar, and your picture shows a bag, how much measurement of seasoning is in the bag ? thanks, also I would also be interested in a ground chicken kabob recipe.

Do you have a recipe for ground chicken or ground beef kabob? Thanks.

Marisa, No I have never marinated a piece of tri-tip. However, I don’t think you can go wrong with yogurt and the rest of the ingredients that you have listed. Yogurt actually helps tenderize the meat and add moisture. I think you have a good combo there as far as the fresh ingredients. You could use the shish kabob seasoning as well….

I had another idea. Would it be possible to marinate tri-tip similar to how you marinated this chicken but using Sadaf shish kabab seasoning and yogurt???
