This dish features skewered meat being grilled, commonly referred to as "kebabs" or "skewers," depending on the region and specific marinade used. These kebabs are a popular choice for their rich flavors, versatility, and the joy of cooking over an open flame. Traditionally, the meat is marinated for several hours or overnight to enhance its taste and tenderness before being threaded onto skewers—sometimes interlaced with vegetables—and then grilled to perfection.

Cooking Time: 10-15 minutesPreperation Time: Several hours to overnight (for marinating) + 30 minutes

Preparing the Marinade

In a bowl, combine olive oil or another chosen oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and a selection of herbs and spices to taste. Mix well.

Marinating the Meat

Cut your choice of meat (beef, pork, chicken, or lamb) into 1 to 2-inch cubes. Place the cubes in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight, turning occasionally.

Skewering the Meat (and Vegetables)

If using vegetables, cut them into sizes similar to the meat chunks. Thread the marinated meat and vegetables onto skewers, leaving a small space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

Grilling the Skewers

Preheat the grill to a medium-high heat. Place skewers on the grill, turning occasionally, until the meat is well-seared and cooked to the desired doneness, about 10-15 minutes depending on the meat's type and thickness.

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

Kebabs are a high-protein, moderate-to-high-fat dish, with a relatively low carbohydrate content, especially when vegetables are used. The specific cut of meat and the use of oil in the marinade can significantly affect the fat content. These skewers can provide a nutritious and satisfying meal, particularly when lean cuts of meat and a variety of vegetables are included.
