ingredients

500 g chicken breasts or 500 g chicken thighs, cubed
1 teaspoon cumin seeds or 1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic cloves, crushed or 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons olive oil
¹⁄₂ teaspoon chili flakes or 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
4 teaspoons tomato puree or 4 teaspoons tomato sauce
2 red onions, sliced into thick wedges

directions

Add the chicken to a non-metallic dish- set aside.
Mix together all remaining ingredients, except for the onions. Pour the marinate over the chicken, toss well to coat. Marinate for 2 hours in the fridge.
Thread the chicken onto skewers, alternating with the red onions.
Grill or BBQ for 10-15 minutes, turning frequently.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes prior to using. This should stop them from buring during the cooking stage.

This was a nice lamb dish. We really liked the spice level, but we felt like it was missing a little something. I added some pink salt which helped intensify the flavours. I think next time I'd marinate the lamb for longer so it retains more of the flavours. Thanks Jubes!
