About Shish tawouk

Shish Tawouk is a popular Middle Eastern dish featuring marinated chicken skewers, often grilled to perfection. Originating in Levantine cuisine, this flavorful recipe showcases tender chicken chunks soaked in a tangy marinade of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and aromatic spices like paprika and cumin. Packed with protein, Shish Tawouk is a wholesome option that supports muscle maintenance and satiety. The yogurt in the marinade contributes probiotics, while the spices bring antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Grilling minimizes added fats, making it a lean, heart-healthy choice. However, sodium levels can be a concern depending on the amount of salt used in the preparation. Typically served with flatbread, rice, or fresh salads, Shish Tawouk is a nutritious and satisfying dish that celebrates vibrant Middle Eastern flavors.
