As street food in Rwanda, these are more typically made with goat meat. They are equally delicious made with beef, goat or even mutton.
Ingredients:
For the Kebabs:
900g beef cut into bite-sized pieces
1/2 large onion, finely chopped
10 parsley sprigs, chopped
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly-ground black pepper
1 hot chilli, finely chopped
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil
For the Hot Sauce:
5 tbsp tomato purée
1 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce
1 hot chillies, finely chopped (or to taste)
4 tbsp vinegar
2 tbsp water
Method:
Whisk together all the ingredients (except the beef) in a bowl until thoroughly combined then add the beef and stir to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with clingfilm (plastic wrap) and refrigerate for at least 8 hours (preferably over night). When ready to cook, heat your barbecue then spear five or six pieces of meat on each skewer.
Cook over the barbecue until done to your liking. In the meantime, prepare the hot sauce. Whisk together the tomato purée with the olive oil in a bowl until smooth then add the vinegar, salt, Tabasco sauce, hot chilli and water. Mix thoroughly and adjust the seasonings and heat to taste.
Serve the kebabs with generous chunks of French bread and accompany with the hot sauce.
