Shish Taouk

Shish Taouk

This is my another twist to skewered chicken.’Shish’ in Turkish means,’Skewered’ and ‘Taouk’ is Chicken…So now you know what ‘Shish Taouk’ is.Dish is middle eastern in origin,Lebanese precisely.Notion i get about this dish is,’Garlic’ is a star ingredient of this dish,combined with ‘Thyme’,’Lemon juice’ and good amount of ‘olive’ oil are the essential part in making this.This is how mine came about.

Yummy Notes:
  • I got the impression that ‘Thyme’ or ‘Thyme based’ spice mix called ‘Zatar’ is essential to this dish.I had neither,so i used  dried ‘Oregano’ instead.
  • Soaking the bamboo sticks in water prevents it from burning during grilling process.Of course,no one is stopping you from using metal skewers.I kinda like the earthy charm of bamboo sticks 🙂
  • Enjoy this dish with Pita Bread and Tzatziki sauce for whole middle eastern effect.
