Shish kebabs
Do you know what those are? When I was growing up, we called them shish kebabs
But they get called by different names in different places
Some people call them souvlaki
Some people call them shashlik
I don't know all the names for them,
but they're skewers with meat on them
and probably vegetables and their barbecued and they're really delicious
I didn't make many kebabs when I was growing up
But every time we had them, they were really yummy
And I haven't had cheese kebabs for about 25 years now
At least they're fairly easy to make you just get a cube of beef or lamb or chicken
You can marinate it, you can marinate it with spices or maybe even yogurt
Then you can put them on the stick or the skewer and then you can add all sorts of vegetables
Some vegetables are bell peppers or tomatoes or onions
After that, you grill them ideally over some beautiful hot charcoal or coals
Nobody knows exactly where they originated
But a lot of people think they came from the Middle East
Maybe your country has something similar to shish kebabs,
the word souvlaki that I said earlier,
that's the name for Shish kebabs in Greece
and in Mexico they have something similar called Al Hombre in Japan
They have Yakitori, which is basically the same thing
Only a little bit smaller and it's chicken
The Yakitori in Japan is really, really yummy
And a lot of people like to go to a Yakitori restaurant on the way home after work
Do you get a chance to make shish kebabs or your version of them?
Do you have a special recipe or maybe a special sauce to put on them? Tell me about it if you get a chance.
