Cuisine of the Middle East; from a Backpackers Perspective
The Middle East produces some of the world's most delicate snacks and
delicious flavours. These are countries ripe with traditional cooking
methods where eating a meal is as much about the friends you share it
with as the food you eat. In Syria you can explore the local Souqs

fragrant herbs and rich spices. Turkish meals often include a helping
of warm fresh bread alongside soups cooked in pots that need to be
cracked open after cooking. In Jordan share meze with friends. Popular
meze dishes include Baba Ghanoush € mashed eggplant (aubergine) and
minced lamb mixed with mint and spices. In Israel the budget-conscious
backpacker can indulge in chicken kebabs, bagels, and falafels with
hummus in warm pitas. If this has wet your appetite then read on for a
pick of the tastiest Middle Eastern dishes and beverages.If you like
it strong and dark then Turkish coffee is for you. It is bitter, taken
without milk and served in an espresso sized cup.Chick pea lovers
unite! The Middle East is full of creamy hummus, chick pea stews and
deep fried falafels.Order a kebab like no other kebab you've ordered
before. Choose from tender cuts of lamb, chicken or beef with salad,
hummus and olives, topped with chilli and garlic sauce.Munch on olives
of every colour, size and flavour.Buy Turkish Delight in bulk in, you
guessed it, Turkey. These come in flavours ranging from yellow rose to
pistachio. Once sampled never forgotten.

Top 5 Ways to Build a Shish Kabob
Its name has roots in the Middle East, but today shish kebob means has
a global reputation as a skewer full of mouth-watering food.Several
sources site Turkish and Armenian as the original languages of the
term shish kebob or shish kebab, but it's linked to an Arabic word
meaning cooked meat in small pieces and an Aramaic word meaning to
char. Whatever its word roots, the top 5 ways to build a shish kabob
spell out delicious in any language.1. Lamb shish kabob.This classic
dish is probably closest to the original recipe that sparked so many
culinary inventions. Lamb shish kabob consists of pieces of lamb
alternating with green peppers, large mushrooms, cherry tomatoes or
slices of medium tomato and white or red onions. Lamb is cut into
1-1/2-inch cubes and marinated in oil and spices of choice, then
threaded onto the skewer with vegetables and grilled until done.2.
Beef shish kabob.This version substitutes beef for lamb in an
otherwise classic recipe. Sirloin is the preferred meat cut for a beef
shish kabob because it will hold together well on the skewer. Beef
often lends itself to some experimenting with the marinade to create
interesting new tastes. Cooks have traded out the traditional oil
marinade of lamb kabobs for soy, wine or even Japanese teriyaki for
beef kabobs.3. Chicken shish kabob.Chicken shish kabobs offer cooks
the opportunity to get really creative with flavors and spices. Only
white meat chicken is used for this type of kabob. Marinades have
featured pineapple juice mixed with dry mustard, brown sugar and soy
sauce; a Japanese yakitori version with soy sauce, sake, molasses and
grated onion; and a spicy shish taouk featuring lemon juice, olive
oil, garlic, cumin, black pepper and cayenne pepper.4. Shrimp shish
kabob.Shrimp on the Barbie has become an Australian cliché, but
it's still one of the most popular forms of shish kabob. A classic
version uses no vegetables at all. Instead, one pound of shrimp is
marinated two hours in olive oil with garlic, lemon, pepper and
chopped parsley, and then grilled for just five minutes. Devotees
report this recipe bursts with flavor.5. Fruit and/or veggie
kabobs.While it may be sacrilege to meat lovers, there are vegetarians
out there who love nothing better than skewer full of grilled fruit or
vegetable slices. Here's where there are no holds barred to the
recipe. Simply cut up favorite veggies and fruits, season as desired
and grill until lightly charred on the edges. Kabobs of this kind are
often served with a sweet or savory dipping sauce.Veteran kabob cooks
add that the kind of skewer used for kabobs is very important. Most
prefer stainless steel skewers rather wood ones because they say the
meat and vegetables will cling better to metal. However, wooden
skewers have their fans as well. Whatever type of skewer is used,
coating it lightly with oil before threading the meat and vegetables
will help the meal slide easily onto the plate.

How to use gas barbecues
So often families do not take full advantage of their gas barbecues. A
bbq is so much more than an outside grill suitable for chargrilling
sausages. Gas bbqs have thankfully allowed us all to say goodbye to
the burnt or undercooked meat that traditional bbqs have so often
produced in the past and yet rarely is the new technology taken full
advantage of. Not only do gas fueled grills allow us to cook better
food, but they also offer a portability factor that traditional bbqs
do not. Read on to discover how you can start enjoying your bbq more
and make the very most out of your summer.First things first, the
simplicity and portability of gas bbqs needs to be discussed. They are
easy to light, unlike charcoal bbqs, they are easy to turn off, unlike
charcoal bbqs and they are easy to move around, you get the idea.
Never again do you have to light the bbq 2 hours before you want to
start cooking and never again are you faced with a pile of hot ashes
that you don't know how to dispose of. Gas bbqs are often on wheels
which makes them easy to transport. They can be packed up and put in
the car and taken along on all sorts of trips or days out. To the
beach, to the park, on camping holidays.....the gas bbq can go
wherever you do. Think of the fun that can now be had. Also consider
the savings too. When you have children eating out all the time whilst
camping or even on a day out can become very expensive but grilling
yourself if cost effective and good fun. It definitely brings
something extra to the day when a bbq is involved.The cooking power of
a gas bbq is sublime too. Instead of having to constantly turn the
coals or add more fuel, the flames and heat are instant. This makes
cooking on them much easier than traditional bbqs. Most people
continue to use their gas bbqs for sausages and burgers but there is
so much more potential here. Fish becomes much easier to cook and
vegetables too. That crispy, burnt, black and bitter taste is long
gone so you can really bring some culinary expertise into the
equation. Sausages of course have their place, but now you can create
bbq feasts with a difference. Shellfish skewers, lamb kebabs, grilled
vegetables of all varieties. The possibilities really are endless and
with the absence of fat or frying, providing your family with
barbecued food is very healthy. You can take it as far as your
imagination will go and with recipe books dedicated to the subject and
the internet packed with ideas, you will never be short of a new
creation to try.There are few things nicer in the world than enjoying
a bbq at home or when you are out and about. It is the perfect way to
spend a lazy sunday, with friends and family all around and cold beer
on tap! By taking full advantage of a portable gas bbq, you can not
only enjoy healthy, well cooked food but you can save plenty of money
in the process too. They couldn't be easier to set up or light and
with adjustable legs there is no bending over or difficulty with
cooking. By thinking up some exciting recipes and preparing some
delicious accompaniments like salads and sauces, mastering the art of
bbq food is enjoyable and exciting.Gas bbq are fun for all the family.
With plenty of lpg gas suppliers, topping up with fuel is easy to do
and cooking with them is fun. Gas barbecues really help make summers
special.
