About Taouk

Taouk, also known as Shish Taouk, is a traditional Middle Eastern dish featuring marinated chicken skewers, popular in Lebanese, Turkish, and Syrian cuisines. The chicken is typically marinated in a flavorful blend of yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and spices such as paprika and cumin, then grilled or roasted to perfection. This dish is a good source of lean protein, making it a healthy option for those aiming to build or maintain muscle. The use of garlic and lemon contributes antioxidants and immune-boosting properties, while olive oil provides heart-healthy fats. However, sodium levels may vary depending on the marinade, so moderation is key if you're watching your salt intake. Often served with fresh salads, rice, or flatbread, Taouk is a versatile and nutritious choice for a balanced meal.
