Hawaiian Kabob Recipe
Quick Shish Kebab History: The original term “shish kebab” comes from Turkish words literally meaning “skewer” and “roast meat.” This meal originated in Turkey among nomadic tribes who sought out ways to prepare unusual meats. They marinated the meat to tenderize it, as well as mask the gamey flavor. Today, kebabs have become a part of many cultures. In Oriental cultures they are termed satay. The Japanese call them yakitori. In France, they are called brochettes.
