By Elsa Noel


Preparing a menu for a party can be especially stressful if you have no idea what kind of food or recipe the guests would want. That can easily be remedied by including a kebab on the list. A lot of people know what a kebab is. And whether you will host the party outside or inside, you can be sure that a kebab would always fit.

There are already a lot of places in the world that has taken a liking to this dish. The Shish Kebab East Meadow is one place where you can try different kinds of kebabs among others. The recipe came from a country in the Middle East.

One thing that you can admire in New York aside from the view is the good food. East Meadows in particular is very famous for their array of different variety of kebabs. If you are to visit this part of the Big Apple, you should not pass up the opportunity to taste one of their world famous kebabs.

You may be able to observe but there are already a lot of versions of this dish around. Back then this was not the case. The only meat that was used for a kebab was the meat of a lamb. And as it garnered fame for tasting exquisitely, more people or regions have added their personal touch on the recipe. There are also others who were limited by their religion, hence there are now versions that are safe to eat whatever religion or culture you might have.

You can also choose from pork, beef, chicken meat and fish or other sea foods. Others also tried to make kebab out of vegetable which really adds a different twist to the traditional once. If you are thinking of hosting a party at your home, this is the one recipe that you could try. If you do not know how to upgrade your recipe to a whole new level, just follow the simple tips below.

In marinating the meat, you should use a cooking plastic. There should be not a hint of air inside the plastic. Marinated food, whatever they may be should be stored in the fridge to avoid making the marinate a breeding ground for bacteria. Leave it for thirty minutes at least. If you want to marinate it longer then you could do so. This will make the seasoning penetrate deeper into the dish for flavoring.

The dish should also look as presentable and as tasty as possible. Adding a little bit of color by skewering some fruits or vegetables in would make the presentation nice. But before adding these ingredients, you should first parboil it.

When cutting the meat, the more even or uniform the size is, the easier it would be for the meat to cook together and evenly. There are times that the other portions are already cooked but some parts are not. To avoid these, the meat should be one or two inches thick or long. And right before you roast everything, spray it with a little oil. This would prevent the dish from sticking to the grill.

You can opt for wooden skewers as they are cheaper than the metal ones. But you have to soak them in warm water for about thirty minutes to avoid burning the stick. This dish is simple and easy to prepare. You do not have to be too elaborate because it would be overdoing it. And this would result to losing the real taste of the dish.
