Kebab

About

Kebabs are a popular Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dish consisting of skewered meat, often served with pita bread. Originating in Persia (modern-day Iran), kebabs have a rich history that spans thousands of years. They typically involve marinating chunks of meat, such as lamb, beef, or chicken, and grilling them over an open flame, which imparts a smoky flavor. Kebabs can also include vegetables like onions and bell peppers, adding variety to the dish. Kebabs have spread globally, with various regional adaptations. In Turkey, shish kebabs and döner kebabs are well-known, while in India and Pakistan, seekh kebabs are popular. The versatility of kebabs allows them to be served in different ways, such as in sandwiches or with rice and salads. Whether enjoyed as street food or in formal settings, kebabs symbolize hospitality and community, making them a beloved dish across cultures.
