CHOCO KEBAB RECIPES

Steps:

• To prepare kebabs, place onions and garlic in food processor; process 2 to 3 minutes or until pureed. Combine pureed onion mixture, lemon juice, 3 tablespoons oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add lamb; seal and marinate in refrigerator 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
• Preheat grill to medium-high heat or broiler.
• Remove lamb from bag; discard marinade. Thread lamb onto 6 (10-inch) metal skewers; thread tomatoes onto 2 or 3 (10-inch) metal skewers. Place skewers on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray; cook tomatoes 4 to 5 minutes and lamb 10 to 12 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning occasionally.
• To prepare chelo, place rice in a fine sieve; rinse 1 to 2 minutes with warm running water. Drain. Bring 6 cups water and 2 teaspoons salt to a boil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over high heat. Add rice; boil, uncovered, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Rice will be slightly crunchy.) Drain rice through a sieve into a bowl, reserving rice and cooking liquid. Rinse rice with warm running water.
• Combine 2 tablespoons reserved rice cooking liquid, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 tablespoon oil, and saffron in nonstick skillet; place over high heat. Add one-third of rice, stirring to coat. Spread evenly over bottom of pan. Add remaining rice (do not stir), spreading evenly. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon melted butter. Place a clean dish towel over rice, folding towel to fit within perimeter of pan. Cover pan with lid. Cook over high heat 3 to 4 minutes or until rice begins to brown on bottom. Reduce heat to low, and cook 20 minutes or until rice is tender and a crisp, browned layer forms on bottom of pan. Remove lid and towel; invert rice onto a plate.
• Spoon about 1/2 cup rice onto each of 6 plates. Remove tomatoes from skewers. Place a lamb skewer and 3 tomatoes on each plate. Combine green onions, mint, and cilantro; sprinkle 1 tablespoon over each serving. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Tread the grapes, banana, strawberries and mango onto 4 bamboo skewers and put the skewers on a baking paper lined tray.
• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, do not let the base of the bowl touch the water and stir over low heat until the chocolate has melted or alternatively melt in the microwave.
• Use a fork to drizzle the chocolate over the kebabs.
• Place the tray into the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate has set and then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to eat.
