About Shish kebab

Shish kebab is a dish of skewered and grilled meat that originates from Middle Eastern cuisine, particularly Turkey. Traditionally made with lamb, modern variations may include beef, chicken, or fish, often paired with vegetables like onions, peppers, and tomatoes. Marinated in a blend of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and aromatic spices, shish kebab offers a savory flavor profile. It’s a protein-rich meal that supports muscle development, with the added vitamins and antioxidants from the vegetables enhancing its nutritional value. Grilling reduces fat content compared to frying, making it a healthier option. However, depending on the marination and portion size, it can be high in sodium or calories. Served commonly with rice or flatbread, shish kebab is a versatile dish that combines robust flavors with a balance of nutrients when prepared mindfully.
