About Shish tawook

Shish Tawook is a popular Middle Eastern dish originating from Levantine cuisine. It typically consists of marinated chicken skewers grilled to perfection, delivering a smoky and flavorful taste. The marinade combines yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and a blend of spices like paprika and cumin, which tenderize the chicken and add depth of flavor. Shish Tawook is a protein-rich option, making it a healthy choice for those seeking lean sources of protein. It is relatively low in fat, especially if skinless chicken breast is used, and offers nutrients like B vitamins, iron, and zinc. The dish is often served with accompaniments like fresh salads, hummus, and whole-grain pita, enhancing its nutritional value. However, sodium levels can be higher depending on the marinade, so balance with fresh, unprocessed ingredients for a wholesome meal. Enjoy it as a nutritious and satisfying part of a balanced diet.
