Kabab

Kabab recipes date back centuries, with the dish believed to have originated in Persia. Kababs are typically made with ground lamb or beef, although chicken and fish kababs are also popular. The meat is seasoned with a variety of spices, including cumin, coriander, and paprika, and then grilled or skewered and cooked over a fire.

Kababs are a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine and are often served with rice or bread. In recent years, kababs have become popular in other parts of the world, including the United States, where they are often served as an appetizer or main course.
