Kebabs

Kebabs are a popular type of grilled or skewered meat dish that can be found in various cuisines around the world, including the Middle East, South Asia, and Central Asia. The term "kebab" refers to a wide range of meat preparations, but the common feature is that the meat is cooked on skewers or grilled, resulting in a flavorful and often charred exterior.

Kebabs can be made with different types of meat, such as lamb, beef, chicken, or even fish. The choice of meat varies depending on regional preferences and availability. Kebabs are often made using cuts of meat that are tender and suitable for grilling, such as cubes of meat, minced meat, or ground meat mixed with spices and other ingredients.

Kebabs are typically seasoned or marinated to enhance the flavor of the meat. Marinades can include a variety of ingredients such as spices, herbs, yogurt, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, and onion, among others. The marinade helps to tenderize the meat and infuses it with a combination of flavors.

The meat for kebabs is often threaded onto skewers, which can be metal or wooden. The skewered meat is then grilled over an open flame, charcoal, or in some cases, on a stovetop grill or oven. The cooking method helps to seal in the juices and develop a charred and smoky flavor on the outside while keeping the meat tender and juicy on the inside.
