Yummy, sounds incredible with your additions.
Love this recipe! I made “my” version of it tonight and it was WONDERFUL!! (I made it with only lamb, upped the cumin, and used figs instead of dates, and Chinese & Chilean hot peppers in the chutney…) I also served it with Amba Sauce… So delish! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/49caafeb503b625eebecfd8664f80b02e200a2ddd064a4cf76ad1555a2961c90.jpg
The lamb kebabs look and sound amazing I can’t wait to try them for my family Shabbat, yes!
I agree, give me so many ideas for other ways to use cinnamon sticks.
I love this recipe! And the cinnamon sticks are a stroke of genius!
served these on rosh hashana—for the seder–i used this as the “rosh” or head—it was a big hit–i made 3 kilo and they were devoured and i had to promise to make them again–soon–like maybe for sukkot
