About Tawook

Tawook, also known as Shish Tawook, is a popular Middle Eastern dish consisting of marinated chunks of chicken skewered and grilled to perfection. Originating from Lebanese cuisine, its marinade typically includes ingredients like yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and a blend of warm spices such as paprika and cumin, creating a flavorful and aromatic profile. Tawook is often served with flatbread, rice, or fresh vegetables, making it a versatile and balanced meal option. Nutritionally, it is a great source of lean protein from the chicken, while the marinade ingredients like olive oil and garlic provide heart-healthy fats and immune-boosting properties. However, depending on preparation, sodium levels can be high due to added salt or seasonings, and pairing it with rich sauces may increase calories. Overall, Tawook is a delicious and nutritious choice when consumed in moderation and served with wholesome sides.
