Karisik Izgara (Mixed Grill)

Ingredients

Mixed vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant)

2 cups, chopped

Long-grain rice

1 cup

Salt

1 teaspoon

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon

Olive oil

4 tablespoons, divided

Turkish sausage (sucuk)

200 grams, sliced

Beef skewers (kebabs)

400 grams, marinated

Chicken thighs

400 grams, boneless and skinless

Lamb chops

400 grams

Lemon juice

2 tablespoons

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Paprika

1 teaspoon

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

2 tablespoons, chopped

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
2. Place the chicken thighs, lamb chops, and beef skewers in a large bowl and pour the marinade over them. Toss to coat well and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. While the meats are marinating, prepare the mixed vegetables. Toss them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Once the grill is hot, place the marinated meats on the grill. Cook the lamb chops and chicken thighs for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and have nice grill marks. Cook the beef skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning as needed.
6. During the last few minutes of grilling, add the sliced Turkish sausage to the grill. Cook until browned and slightly crispy.
7. While the meats are grilling, cook the rice according to the package instructions.
8. Steam or sauté the mixed vegetables until they are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
9. To serve, arrange the grilled meats on a large platter alongside a mound of rice and a colorful array of mixed vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley.
