What is Shish Taouk?

Shish Taouk is a popular Middle Eastern skewered chicken dish known for its brightness and zest. This vibrant blend, created by one of our favorite chefs from the region, @thevoicenotechef, combines herbaceous species (tomato powder, oregano, coriander, and garlic) with earthy black cumin and turmeric, creating a layered spice mix that's singing with flavor.

How to use it

Mix your Shish Taouk spice mix with Greek yogurt and fresh lemon juice to create the best marinade for melt-in-your-mouth chicken kebabs. For added flavor and crunch, skewer on your favorite vegetables (we recommend onion and bell pepper). Serve with french fries, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.

I use this stuff on everything.

Well, not quite. I use the yogurt, lime juice, spice blend on chicken, lamb, vegetables. I use the spice blend on a wider range of vegetables, and with chili. It adds a depth of flavor to chili and a 'wake up' to most other items. I really like it, and gift the blend to close friends.

Extremely good.

This is a wonderful blend. I followed the directions (mostly: I used lime instead of lemon) and the chicken was delightful.
