Shish taouk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shish taouk

Shish taouk is a traditional Turkish shish kebab which can also be found in Syrian and Lebanese cuisine. Cubes of chicken are skewered and grilled. Common marinades are based upon yogurt or a tomato puree, though there are many variations. Shish taouk is typically eaten with garlic paste toum.

[edit] Etymology

Shish means skewer in Turkish (and has been adopted in Lebanese-Arabic and Syrian-Arabic dialects, seekh is the word for it in classical Arabic); and taouk or "tavuk" (pronounced "tah -youk") means chicken in Turkish. Tawook can refer to other kinds of poultry, e.g. the peacock (Tawouk/Taus in Arabic طاووس).

[edit] Methods of serving

The original Turkish version is served with rice and a garlic paste along with vegetables. The sandwich version comes in a flat bread or pita wrap seasoned with garlic paste, along with lettuce, tomatoes, and pickled turnips. It is widely eaten in Lebanon and Syria today, either as a sandwich or on a platter with vegetables. This is similar (although not identical) to the traditional Persian Jujeh Kabab.

In Montreal, Quebec, the term Shish taouk is used to refer to chicken shawarma rather than skewered chicken.
