What is a sish kebab?

Shish kebab (also spelled shashlik or shashlyk) is a popular Middle Eastern dish made of small pieces of meat, fish, or vegetables grilled or roasted on a skewer. The term "shish" refers to the skewer itself, while "kebab" refers to the food that is skewered.

Shish kebabs are typically made with lamb or mutton, but other meats such as beef, chicken, or pork can also be used. The meat is usually marinated in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil before being skewered and cooked over an open flame or in an oven.

Vegetables commonly used in shish kebabs include onions, peppers, tomatoes, and zucchini. These are often alternated with the meat pieces on the skewer. The skewers are then grilled or roasted until the meat and vegetables are cooked through and slightly charred.

Shish kebabs are a popular street food in many Middle Eastern countries and are also commonly served at restaurants and gatherings. They are typically enjoyed with a variety of dips or sauces, such as hummus, tzatziki, or mint sauce.
