Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Mix the yoghurt with the lemon juice and zest, garlic, tomato paste, spices, olive oil and salt.
- Toss in the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- For the sauce, blend the garlic with the salt into a paste with a hand blender, then gradually add the oil and lemon juice alternately until you get a thick white cream.
- Thread the meat onto skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes beforehand).
- Grill on a hot barbecue, in a grill pan, or under a 230 °C oven grill for 10-14 minutes, turning a few times, until cooked through and browned at the edges.
- Serve with pita, garlic sauce, pickles and parsley.

Tips
- Thigh meat stays juicier than breast.
- Toum keeps in the fridge for a week; if it doesn't thicken, it can be rescued with a little egg white or boiled potato.
