Answer 3

The Greeks have this recipe down to a science.  It is just wonderful and they call it Souvlaki.  If at all possible, marinate overnight and use an outdoor grill.

Souvlaki - Greek Kebobs

For the souvlaki:

2 pounds boneless, skinless meat such as pork, lamb, beef, or chicken

½ cup olive oil

2 lemons, juiced (about 4 tablespoons lemon juice)

¼ cup wine (use whatever you have on hand but red is best)

2 teaspoons dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

3 cloves garlic, chopped

½ medium onion, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

For the skewers:

Onions, quartered

Peppers, cut in chunks

Cherry tomatoes

Instructions:

If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for several hours to prevent them from burning when you cook the meat. Cut the meat into 2 inch cubes. Place in a large re-sealable bag.

Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, and wine. Slowly add the oregano, thyme, garlic and onions. Pour into bag and seal. Shake until all the flavors are dispersed.

Store in the refrigerator and marinate for at least two hours or overnight. The longer it marinates the tastier the meat will be. Remove the meat from the bag and discard the marinade.

Skewer the meat, alternating each piece of meat with one of the vegetable choices. Cook the meat evenly on each side until cooked through. Cooking times will vary depending on if you grill it, bake it in a 400 degree oven, or broil it. Serve on a platter garnished with parsley.

I love this recipe and it goes wonderfully with a Tzatziki Dipping Sauce.

Answer 5

There is no such thing as REAL kabob! There are as many varieties and spicings as there are ones for what you may call  BBQ...It is meat on a stick! If you like a "kabob" from a favorite place that you go to - Ask what country they are from...and then if you are too shy you can look up the particular spices that country uses in their "kabob" recipes!!!

Also! All countries use different spices for different meats! Just like we do.

Most small restaurants and delis are only too happy too answer questions from a complimentary customer (if they are not busy!) Sometimes though the answer can be it is their mother's recipe and she is not there...So go back to looking it up by country on the Net.

Answer 6

Who knows, I think the kebabs are made up of left over cuts of meats with lots of fats [you only have to look at the bottom of the trays to see it] and the herbs and spices just cover the taste of the fats.

cheers

Answer 7

Indian kebabs have a variety of spices depending on the type of kebab:  the most prominent spice is ground cumin known for its smoky flavor that works perfectly with kebabs
