Peruvian Anticuchos

“Anti-cucho” translates most likely to 'cuts from the Andes region'. Anticuchos have a long history dating back to the pre-Columbian era of the Incas. Initially, they were made with llama meat. The Spaniards changed the meat, added new spices, and put the meat on skewers. Today, anticuchos are preferably made of beef heart, chicken, or steak and most popular during National Holidays and at summer barbecues.

Greek Souvlaki

Greek Souvlaki

SpiceBreeze
Souvlaki is one of many national Greek dishes. Marinated meat is grilled on a stick and eaten straight off the skewer. The origins of souvlaki date back to ancient Greece where pieces of meat were grilled on a spit. During the Medieval era, Greek street vendors sold souvlaki in bread. However, in Turkey, it's believed that the Turkish shish kebab found its way to Greece and became the Greek souvlaki.

Persian Kabob Koobideh

SpiceBreeze
Kabob Koobideh is the most popular grilled ground meat in Iran and around the Persian Gulf. The meat is prepared differently to a burger. It's important to knead the meat well to receive a texture that sticks to the skewers and turns out light when served. The kabob is traditionally grilled on wide flat metal skewers "hanging" over the fire so that the meat doesn't get in contact with the grill. This recipe is an easier weekday version.
