About Shishbarak

Shishbarak is a traditional Middle Eastern dish, particularly popular in Levantine and Arab cuisines. It consists of small dumplings filled with seasoned ground lamb or beef, onion, and spices, folded into delicate dough pockets. The dumplings are typically cooked in a tangy yogurt sauce seasoned with garlic, coriander, and sometimes mint, giving the dish a distinctive creamy and savory flavor. Shishbarak is a hearty meal that provides protein from the meat and calcium from the yogurt, along with some essential vitamins and minerals. However, it can also be calorie-dense due to the refined flour in the dough and the added fat from the meat. Healthier variations may include using leaner meat, whole wheat flour, or low-fat yogurt. Shishbarak is often enjoyed as a comforting family meal and is cherished for its rich taste and cultural significance.
