Kebab is a kind of delicious food originated in Turkey, which is widely accepted in European countries and is very suitable for Asian tastes.
The traditional kebab is a famous vegetable from the Middle East. The word KEBAB (or KABOB) comes from Arabic, which means a large piece of bacon roasted on a fire with a skewer. Turkey is called KEBAP, but there is not much difference. Vegetables are often added when baking. After the meat is cooked, it can be eaten with scones or sandwiched in bread. Turks like the latter. Like a stick, the bread is cut into sections first, then cut along the length, and the kebabs are sandwiched in the middle and eaten together. It is popular to roll kebabs into thin Lebanese cakes to eat. Lebanese cakes are rolled with dead noodles, with a diameter of 30-40 cm, which is thicker than the dumpling skin. Put them in a pot or stove, cook them and take them out. They should be soft, not too dry, or they won't roll up. It's just a copy of Shandong school, but it's a little small. Cut mutton skewers are placed on the cake, vegetables and sauces are placed on it, and rolled into the shape of big cakes and green onions, and you can use them. It sounds like lazy food, which is in line with the trend, so it is very popular abroad now. The kebab is a Middle Eastern food, and its meat is naturally mutton, beef or chicken. The usual practice is to string large pieces of meat on iron bars to form a meat tube with a diameter of 30-40 cm. Roast on a charcoal fire and turn it over while roasting. When the outer layer is cooked, cut the meat into the next layer. This way of eating is very suitable for nomadic people. A kebab can string all kinds of meat and vegetables. People roast and eat around the campfire, and the meat is naturally interesting with the smell of charcoal. But now, instead of using charcoal fire, the meat cylinder is placed vertically in a cylindrical gas stove, and the motor drives the meat cylinder to rotate automatically, so this meat cylinder is called "DONER (Turkish, meaning rotation) KEBAB". The gas stove faces the side of people and has an opening along the length direction, so you can directly cut meat with a knife. Dona kebab is convenient, clean and fast, but it lacks interest and charcoal flavor.
In fact, our common mutton kebab is also a simplified kebab, which is called "KABOB" in Turkey, just as mala Tang is a simplification of hot pot. Not surprisingly, China's kebabs originated in Xinjiang and other places and were influenced by Arab civilization. I wonder if the Uighurs in Xinjiang are also called mutton kebabs. Mutton kebabs, like mutton kebabs, are not limited to meat, but are often roasted with vegetables such as eggplant.
No matter what kind of mutton string it is, it is best to pretreat the meat. Put the meat with wine, vegetable oil, salt, spices and a small amount of water, soak it for two or three hours, and then bake it until the meat is sucked into the wine and spices, which will be fragrant and tender. Foreigners like to use white wine, and we can use cooking wine. Seasoning can be spiced, pepper, ginger, soy sauce, etc. If the roast is beef and mutton, I suggest you add some cumin, a unique seasoning in Xinjiang.
It is said that kebabs were found in an ancient tomb excavated in Xinjiang for three or four thousand years, but the owner of the tomb was a westerner with a high nose and blue eyes. The owner of the tomb is still a mystery, let alone kebabs. But not surprisingly, barbecue should be the most primitive way to eat meat. Interestingly, Xi 'an's kebab, a sandwich and a meat sandwich taste very similar, while kebab, a Lebanese pancake roll, is exactly the same as scallion. I wonder whether he learns from us or we learn from them. Interested experts can research it, and maybe they will come to a conclusion. We came first. Then we China people will not only be proud at the dinner table, but also look proud at the fast food.
There is also a Turkish cake with mayonnaise and peppers in it.
Kebab is one of the main foods for Indians and Pakistanis. In view of the fact that there are most immigrants from India and Pakistan in Britain, there are also many kebabs shops.
One of the most famous shops is abdul's, which is located in Oxford Street, the campus of Manchester University in Manchester, England. The price of this shop is reasonable and the quantity given is more affordable. The most important thing is its unique flavor, which enjoys an excellent reputation among local British and Chinese. Generally speaking, you need to make a reservation in advance to eat in this store.
Because of homophonic, local Chinese with more culture are all called kebab Baba, but some residents with obvious rural or suburban dialects pronounce it keibab Baba. Bian Xiao pointed out this mistake here.
