Ingredients List
- 2 Whole breasts of chicken;
- -cut into 1-in cubes
- 1 md Onion; sliced thick
- 1 tb Cognac or arak
- 1/2 ts Pepper
- 1/2 ts Ground cinnamon

Directions
Kebabs of all types, sizes, and shapes are standard in Afghan cooking for
both Jews & Muslims. They are easily assembled and probably most basic
recipes of all cooking, stretching back to earliest, primitive times. I saw
two workman barbecuing their lamb kebabs over a few twigs in an open field,
resting skewers on a thick branch cut from a nearby tree, and turning them
every now and then. They then wrapped a piece of Afghan bread around skewer
and pulled off crisp brown meat.
1. Mix everything together & marinate at room temperature for a minimum of
1 hour or preferably in refrigerator overnight.
2. Put 4 or 5 cubes of chicken, without onion, on each metal skewer and
broil over charcoal for 10 or 15 minutes.
3. Serve hot with Afghan bread, salad, and pickles.
NOTE: My Afghan mentor related that turmeric was much used in Afghanistan
in many ways and had a great reputation for its health-giving properties.
It is reputed to cleanse the blood, and a little turmeric in ones morning
milk would a provide day of good health.
