Shish Taouk

Shish taouk (also spelled shish tawook) is a type of chicken shish kebab. It is a Turkish dish that has gained popularity in Lebanon and throughout the Middle East. Shish means "skewers" in Turkish, while taouk is derived from tavuk, which means "chicken."

To make, marinate chicken cubes in garlic, lemon juice, yogurt, and spices before skewering and grilling with onions and tomatoes. It can be served on a platter with rice and salad, or as a sandwich wrapped in pita with vegetables. It's almost always served with toum or Lebanese garlic sauce, no matter how it's prepared.

As much as I enjoy hummus and shawarma, I believe shish taouk in sandwich form is my Lebanese GOAT dish (Greatest Of All Time). It's delectably delicious.
