Seekh kebab

 


        Sheikh kebab, also known as Seekh kebab or Shish kebab, is a popular dish in Dubai and other parts of the Middle East. It is a flavorful and succulent grilled kebab made with minced meat, spices, and herbs, usually served on skewers.

Here are some key aspects of Sheikh kebab:

Ingredients: 

The main ingredient in Sheikh kebab is minced meat, which can be lamb, beef, chicken, or a combination of these. The meat is typically mixed with various spices and herbs such as onion, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. These ingredients are combined to create a well-seasoned and aromatic kebab mixture.

Skewering and Grilling: 

The kebab mixture is shaped into long, cylindrical shapes and threaded onto skewers, usually made of metal or bamboo. The skewered kebabs are then grilled over an open flame or charcoal, which gives them a smoky and charred flavor. The cooking process ensures that the kebabs are cooked through and remain juicy and tender.

Variations: 

Sheikh kebabs come in different variations. Some variations include adding grated onions, mint, or other herbs to the meat mixture, which adds more flavor and moisture to the kebabs. Additionally, there are regional variations in spices and ingredients used based on personal preferences and local culinary traditions.

Serving:

Sheikh kebabs are often served with accompaniments such as Arabic bread, hummus, tahini sauce, salad, and pickles. They can be enjoyed as a main course, as part of a mezze platter, or wrapped in Arabic bread with condiments to make a delicious kebab sandwich.

Sheikh kebabs are loved for their juicy texture, smoky flavor, and aromatic spices. They are a popular street food and are also commonly served at restaurants and homes for casual gatherings or special occasions. Whether you enjoy them on their own or as part of a larger meal, Sheikh kebabs are a delicious and satisfying dish to try in Dubai or any Middle Eastern cuisine setting.
