Now here's something I've never tried . . . yet! But it sure sounds good. I wonder if any of the many new restaurants opening up lately serve this?
What is Shish Taouk?
Shish taouk is a traditional marinated chicken shish kebab of Ottoman cuisine that later became part of Middle Eastern cuisine. It is widely eaten in the Middle East and Caucasus. A similar dish in Persian cuisine is the traditional jujeh kabab.
So if I ordered a chicken kebab would I be eating shish Taouk?
I found this recipe online and it sounds really good. I have not tried it yet. Let me know if you do.

Equipment: If you want to make these on grill pan, I highly recommend the Anolon grill pan that I use (affiliate link)
