Kebbe

Kebbe, also known as kebab, is a popular dish in many cultures, particularly in the Middle East, Balkans, and Central Asia. It is a type of cooked meat dish, often skewered and grilled. The term "kebbe" is derived from the Turkish word "kebap," which means "grilled meat." The dish can be made from various types of meat, including lamb, beef, chicken, or even fish, and is often seasoned with spices such as cumin, paprika, and garlic.

Kebbe is typically prepared by marinating the meat in a mixture of spices and yogurt or oil, then skewering it and grilling over an open flame. The cooking method can vary, with some recipes involving slow-cooking the meat in a marinade, while others involve quick grilling. The dish is often served with accompaniments such as flatbread, rice, or salad.

The popularity of kebbe has spread globally, with variations found in many countries. In the United States, for example, kebbe is often served in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurants. The dish is also a staple in many street food markets and festivals around the world.

Despite its widespread popularity, the exact origins of kebbe are not well-documented. However, it is believed to have been a part of the diet in the Middle East for centuries, with evidence of similar dishes found in ancient texts. The dish has evolved over time, with different regions and cultures adding their own unique twists to the recipe.
