Algerian Chicken Skewers — Ras el Hanout and Preserved Lemon Marinade
Here is a recipe that smells of sunshine and the spices of Algiers! These chicken skewers marinated in ras el hanout and preserved lemon are a must at Algerian barbecues. Ras el hanout, that emblematic spice blend, gives all the personality to this marinade, while preserved lemon brings a tangy and slightly salty touch that awakens the taste buds. If you're wondering which spices are typical of Algerian cuisine, ras el hanout is an excellent starting point: it often contains cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger and many other treasures. These skewers are perfect for a convivial meal, to enjoy with bread and a good salad.
