Building Better ‘Kabab, Kebab, or Kabob’ at the Market by Jodie Fitz
Technically Kabab and kebab are just different spellings of the same word, traditionally referring to grilled or roasted meat dishes, often served on skewers. The term originates from the Middle East and has various spellings depending on the language and region. Kabob is a more common spelling in North America, but in the end…they all lead to a delicious bite.
The market is perfectly poised to fill your plate with delicious, fresh, locally produced kabob ingredients for every course. Yes, that’s right. The idea of ‘Kabab, Kebab, Kabob’s’ only serving for the main dish is long gone and has been joined with a whole host of skewed ideas. Appetizers & desserts on a stick are just as fun to make and serve for summer entertaining on many levels.
This week take a peek at a few different recipes and then consider shopping the market to fill you love for food on a stick with all things local; the market has it all…the ideas are endless.
