Mashawa Afghan Vegetarian Barley Soup Recipe

lamb

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner and more affordable than lamb.

yogurt

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: sour cream

Greek yogurt offers a thicker texture with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is still healthy.

flatbread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: pita bread

Whole grain bread adds fiber while being budget-friendly.

Marinate lamb in yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and black pepper for at least 1 hour.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Skewer marinated lamb pieces onto skewers, alternating with onion and bell pepper chunks.

Grill skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until lamb is cooked through and slightly charred.

Serve grilled skewers with fresh herbs, tomatoes, and flatbread or rice on the side.
