shish kabab
Meat on stick
Shish kabab is a dish of small pieces of meat—traditionally lamb—threaded onto skewers and grilled.
The pieces are often marinated and alternated with vegetables like peppers, onions, and tomatoes.
The term comes from Turkish words for skewer and roasted meat.
Also spelled shish kebab, shish kebob, or simply kebab: We grilled shish kababs at the cookout.
