Specificity

Cherry kebab is a stew-like preparation.[2] The specific of this dish is that the true version of cherry kebab requires the use of St. Lucie cherries.[6] St. Lucie cherry (Prunus cerasus) is a small (8–10mm long), ovoid, bitter, crimson-colored cherry, smaller than its sweet counterpart. It comes in several varieties, including Aleppo, Montmorency, and Morello.[7][8] Because it is sweet and sour at the same time, it perfectly blends with the richness of the lamb. Cherries give a beautiful bright purplish magenta color for this dish.
