SHISH KEBAB - is akin to the tales of the Arabian Nights. The Syrians, Armenians, Lebanese and Turks, do wonderful and unusual things with LAMB, FISH, RICE, CRACKED WHEAT, and YOGURT. EGGPLANT, GREEN PEPPERS, LENTILS, ONIONS, CUCUMBERS, SQUASH and OKRA are a must with them. DATES, FIGS, GRAPES, ANISE, SAFFRON, SESAME SEEDS, MINT and freshly ground BLACK PEPPER are among their main-stay. "Shish" in Armenian and Turkish means skewer, and "Kebab" means to roast or broil. In Ancient Arabia, Shish Kebab was roasted on swords over open camp fires. This is done in moderation in some of our finest "show" restaurants today. A simple recipe for Shish Kebab is:
