About Tawouk

Tawouk, also known as Shish Tawouk, is a popular Middle Eastern dish that originated in Ottoman cuisine and is commonly enjoyed across Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, and surrounding regions. This flavorful dish consists of marinated chicken cubes, traditionally skewered and grilled to perfection. The marinade typically includes yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, and an array of aromatic spices such as paprika and sumac, giving the chicken a tender texture and zesty, smoky flavor. Tawouk is often served with sides like rice, grilled vegetables, or flatbread. It is relatively healthy due to its lean protein content and the use of wholesome ingredients, but nutritional aspects vary depending on portion size and accompaniments. While lower in fat compared to fried alternatives, the sodium from marinades should be considered when tracking salt intake. Tawouk is a delicious and versatile option that fits well into balanced diets when enjoyed in moderation.
