Shish Taouk Spice Blend is a flavorful Middle Eastern mix used to season chicken skewers and other grilled dishes. This blend combines tangy sumac, warm paprika, earthy cumin, and savory garlic to create the classic profile associated with Shish Taouk. Coriander adds a light citrus note, while nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon provide gentle warmth and depth. Oregano brings an herbal touch, and white pepper contributes mild heat.
This spice blend is ideal for marinating chicken with yogurt and lemon, but it also works well with beef, lamb, and roasted vegetables. Whether used for grilling, baking, or stovetop cooking, it delivers a balanced, aromatic flavor that reflects traditional Middle Eastern kitchens.
