Preparing your meals outside is a wonderful way to make a great dinner and get some fresh air as well. Of course, these cooking ideas are great in the backyard as well—a combination of onions, peppers, tomatoes and your favorite seasoned meat can be thrown on the grill for a shish kebab that's really tasty. Shish kebab has always been the most favorite and essential food among people living in mountainous countries, and nowadays it gets more and more popular in other countries as well. Shish kebab is very tasty and nutritious, easy to make, and one can use different types of meat. Various nations perceive differently this meal: some countries and recipe books consider shish kebab as a waterless meal. But what exactly is shish kebab (synonyms: Shish Kabob, Shish Kebob, Skewered Food, Shashlik)? The definition of the words "shish kebab" is - Wikipedia: “Shish kebab (in which is the Armenian word for "skewer,") is a dish consisting of meat threaded on a skewer and grilled. Any kind of meat may be used; cubes of fruit or vegetables are often threaded on the spit as well. Typical vegetables include eggplant, tomato, bell pepper, onions, and mushrooms”. In North American English, the word "kebab" usually refers to shish kebab. So "Shish kebab" literally means "skewered grilled meat". The "shish" part refers to the skewer; the kebab part refers to the grilled or broiled meat. However, the traditionalists state that shish kebab is a meal made of any type of meat (lamb, beef, pork, goat, wild game meat, poultry, fish fillet) skewered and cooked until tender on an outdoor grill. Let’s look at the essential techniques and tools of cooking shish kebab. First of all, you must choose the meat of the good quality. The best choice would be young animal’s meat, because this meat can be prepared for shish kebabs even without marinating. Poultry and fish are not usually marinated. However, to give a special flavor and aroma it is recommended to marinate your preferred meat. The marinade is made by a given recipe. The meat is marinated from 15 minutes to overnight or even longer. If the meat is cooked without marinating, then usually little pieces of meat should be previously steeped in a vegetable oil; large ones soaked in cold water. The meat is cut into pieces and depending on their size you should select a longer or shorter period of marinating and cooking. If the meat has some fat, you should always turn the skewer so that the fat seeps into the meat itself and not leaks down on the coals of the grill. You should have special appliances to grill shish kebab. First of all, the skewers, that can be metal or wooden, and come in different sizes. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes before using to keep them from scorching. Spray or brush metal skewers with vegetable oil. Then there is a grill. The new grill grate must be greased with vegetable oil and heated over the fire, then wiped with the wet cloth. Also use the oil cooking spray before cooking. If you want to grill shish kebabs at home, you can use indoor electric grill or broil in oven. Shish kebab is grilled not on an open fire, but over the hot charcoal or other heat source, about 5-6 inches above; and you should turn the skewers occasionally as cooking. Shish kebabs are grilled not for a very long time. However, much depends on the type and quality of the product you’re cooking, the marinating time and the heat source. Just follow recipe directions. The best shish kebab garnish is fresh and marinated vegetables, various sauces. Shish kebab is usually served hot, also cold, with a dry red and white wine. There are several recipes in this book that you can try with the whole family for cooking that's hours of fun. So, grab some of your favorite foods, fire up the grill and see what you can cook up!
