Lamb Kebab and Shish Kebabs

Lamb kebab is a favorite meal or appetizer of the Mediterranean and Middle East. The traditional meat for a kebab is lamb, but you can use a variety of meats or seafood.

Shish kebabs are usually associated with marinated cubes of meat and vegetables on skewers. In the Middle East, kebabs include other variations such as ground meat with spices on a skewer.

This variation reminds me of a skinny meatloaf on a stick!

Kebabs are traditionally made with lamb, but you can also use minced beef or other minced meats. However, Lamb does have a nice fat content for making this dish.

The ideal fat content would be around 20% fat and you can even mix lamb with other minced meats to achieve a tasty kebab.

I would omit the flour and just use herbs, onions, and spices to make this type of kebab.

You can make a longer thin kebab or make a shorter thick kebab. It is really up to you and you can even omit the skewers if you want to add your kebabs to pita bread to make a sandwich.

You can also marinate your cubes of meat before putting them through a skewer for extra flavor and some people like to brush on a marinade or sauce while the kebabs are cooking.

Interesting Kebab Kitchen Gadget

I have no idea where you would find a cooking gadget like this one, but maybe a specialty kitchen shop would be able to order one for you.

Grilling or barbequing seems to be the most popular and fastest way to cook shish kebabs.

Stainless steel and wooden skewers are probably the best choices for skewers. Just make sure to soak your wooden skewers 20 to 30 minutes before using them.
