About Shishtawook

Shishtawook is a flavorful Middle Eastern dish, most notably associated with Lebanese cuisine. It consists of marinated chicken skewers, grilled to perfection, often served alongside garlic sauce, fresh vegetables, and warm pita bread. The chicken is typically marinated in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and aromatic spices such as paprika, cumin, and sumac, which give it its signature tangy and savory taste. Shishtawook is a protein-rich dish, making it a satisfying option for muscle repair and maintenance, while the use of olive oil and spices adds heart-healthy fats and antioxidants. Typically low in carbs, its nutritional profile can vary depending on accompaniments like rice or sauces. While the dish offers numerous health benefits, it’s best enjoyed in moderation as some versions may be high in sodium or saturated fats depending on preparation methods.
