Moroccan Offal Kebabs
Moroccan Offal Kebabs
Skewers of grilled organ meat are a common Moroccan street food. Typically you’ll see skewers of heart, kidney, and liver; beef or lamb; marinated with paprika, cumin, salt, and cayenne. Sometimes the each organ will be on it’s own skewer; sometimes they’re combined. Since the organ meats are fairly lean, pieces of fat trimmed from the kidneys are put in between each cube of meat on the skewer. This adds some flavor, adding to the richness of the offal.
