What it is
Succulent skewers of seasoned ground lamb or beef, typically mixed with finely chopped onion and parsley, then grilled to perfection.
Key ingredients
Ground lamb/beef, onion, parsley, salt, pepper, traditional spices (e.g., allspice). Sometimes grilled with small pieces of tomato or onion.
Optional tweaks

Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
كباب بدون رز أو خبز لو سمحت.
I'd like the Kebab, please, with no rice or bread.
Watch out for
Small amounts of onion and parsley in the meat mixture. Occasional grilled tomato or onion pieces on the skewer are generally low carb. Beware of less authentic versions using breadcrumbs as a binder.
