34 - 1 tablespoon vinegar
35 - 1 garlic clove, grated
36 - Salt and chili flakes to taste
37 - Warm water, as needed for consistency

# Steps To Follow:

01 - Combine all marinade ingredients for each meat in separate bowls. Add lamb chops to their marinade; mix beef or lamb mince with spices for Luleh kebab; coat chicken with yogurt and seasonings; marinate pork cubes with vinegar and spices. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for optimal flavor.
02 - Parboil baby potatoes in salted water until just tender. Drain and set aside. Slice red onions thickly, cube butternut squash or pumpkin, and leave cherry tomatoes on the vine. Prepare green chili peppers whole.
03 - Thread marinated lamb chops onto skewers if desired. Shape ground beef or lamb mixture onto flat skewers for Luleh kebab. Skewer marinated chicken and pork cubes. Alternate vegetables with meats on additional skewers as preferred.
04 - Heat grill to medium-high temperature. Clean and lightly oil grates to prevent sticking.
05 - Place all skewered meats and lamb chops on the grill. Grill until well-charred and cooked to safe internal temperatures: chicken at 74°C, pork at 71°C, beef and lamb to desired doneness. Rotate frequently for even cooking.
06 - Grill parboiled potatoes, sliced red onions, cherry tomatoes, chili peppers, and squash cubes until tender and charred, turning as needed.
07 - Combine tomato paste, pomegranate molasses, vinegar, grated garlic, salt, and chili flakes in a bowl. Gradually add warm water and mix until sauce reaches pouring consistency.
08 - Arrange grilled meats and vegetables on a large serving platter. Garnish generously with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with BBQ sauce on the side if desired.

# Notes and Tips:

01 - Allowing marinated meats to rest overnight will develop a deeper aroma and tenderness.
02 - Vegetables can be mixed and matched seasonally for optimal flavor and variety.
