Kebab is a cooked meat dish, with its origins in Middle Eastern cuisines. Kebabs consist of cut up or ground meat, sometimes with vegetables, and various other accompaniments according to the specific recipe. The word kebab is derived from the Persian word kabāb, which means fried meat. Kebabs are a popular dish in Iranian and Persian cuisine, and can be found in many restaurants around the world. Kebabs can be made from any type of meat, but lamb and chicken are most common. The meat is often marinated before being skewered and cooked over a charcoal fire. Kebabs are typically served with rice or bread, and may also be accompanied by salads or yogurt.
