Kabobs

[kawboy]

Reading the"Al Pastor" thread got me thinking about the kabobs we had when we were in Austria. They were everywhere. How are they different? Kabobs beef or lamb? What seasonings? I wish we would have paid more attention while we were there. Figure if I rig something up for the Al Pastors, I may want to take a stab at the kabobs. Not sure if I'm in the correct forum.

A quick online search yields a bunch of tasty sounding recipes and general info.
Not much difference from most other's kebabs.
I'll give one piece of advice,
"Cook meat and veggies on separate skewers."

Really depends on what type of Kebab but..I am guessing you mean Doner Kebab?

These weren't on skewers, they were cooked on the one rod and shaved. Served on pitas or other delivery devises. usually by middle easterners.

Look into Doner Kebab. That is exactly whatcha want :) Lemme know if you end up making a set up from scratch, be curious how you do it.

They were just called kabobs. They were sold everywhere. My son lived on them while going to school there.

I'll have to look them up, thanks.

Ah okay, what youre talking about is what we in the US refer to as Shawarma, Gyro and Al Pastor, according to their regional and ethnic influences.
Meat thinly sliced, seasoned and cooked stacked on a vertical rotisserie, then the outer layer is sliced off for serving and it continues to cook/char.
There is a Japanese version too that I've seen, can't remember what they called it

Still a just a BIG vertically grilled shish kebab:rolleyes::p;)

Whatever they're called, they sure were tasty!

Boy #2 believes they were the turkisk version with non-ground lamb. That may be tricky, What's a good substitute? Man I want to go back to Austria now! First meal after meeting the kids in Gaming most of them took there parents to the local kebob place. Kinda threw us a bit, figured they'd all be wanting to show off Austrian food.
