Kebab
Good nutritional profile
Grilled meat on skewers.
Kebab is pieces of marinated lamb or chicken threaded on skewers, often with onion and pepper, and grilled over high heat, usually served with rice or flatbread and salad. It is high in protein and low in carbohydrate, with fat that depends mostly on the cut: chicken breast is leaner than lamb. The rice or flatbread on the side adds most of the carbohydrate to the meal.
