Tips for cooking kebab at home

1. Use lean meat: Kebabs are usually made with lean cuts of meat, such as chicken breast or beef sirloin, to ensure they cook evenly and don’t become too greasy.
2. Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat for at least an hour, or overnight if possible, can help infuse the meat with flavor and make it more tender.
3. Preheat the grill or grill pan: Preheating the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat before adding the kebabs can ensure they cook evenly and develop a nice char on the outside.
4. Leave space between the meat pieces: Leaving a little space between the meat pieces on the skewer can help them cook more evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
5. Let the kebabs rest: Letting the kebabs rest for a few minutes after cooking can help the juices redistribute and make them more tender.
6. Serve with sides and sauces: Kebabs are often served with salad, pita bread, and different types of sauces, such as tzatziki or hummus, for dipping and added flavor.
