Shish Tawook is one of our favourite dishes, whenever we go out for Middle Eastern Martin will always order this as his main. A few weeks ago we were in Abu Dhabi and ate Shish Tawook everyday so recreating this dish has been high on our radar since returning back home.

This version of Shish Tawook is really tasty, easy to prepare, requires 24 hours for marinating (but it's worth it) and then all you have to do is grill it on the BBQ.

If you don't like garlic maybe this dish isn't for you, there's a bit of garlic in the marinate (15 cloves!) and you serve it with toum, a really intense garlic sauce.
