This Shish Tawook recipe is the way my mother made it in her Turkish kitchen: marinated in yogurt, lemon, garlic, and cinnamon, with her secret touch of lemon zest, then grilled on skewers until charred and juicy. Serve it Lebanese-style in pita with toum or over vermicelli rice, the way we do back home in Türkiye.
