The history of our Mixed Grill Hadramot is deeply rooted in the rich culinary traditions of the Hadramaut region, located in Yemen. This area is famed for its diverse and flavorful grilled meats, particularly kebabs, which have gained immense popularity around the world.

The origins of kebabs trace back to ancient times, with evidence suggesting that soldiers in the Middle East would cook skewered meat over open fires. As the dish evolved, various regions adapted the kebab to their local flavors and ingredients, leading to the vast assortment we enjoy today.

For our Hadramot kebab, we embrace traditional methods while incorporating modern twists to enhance the flavors. The recipe typically includes:
- 500g minced beef or lamb
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)

To prepare, mix the minced meat with the seasonings and form into skewers. Grill over medium heat until cooked through, ensuring a succulent and tender bite. Serve with flatbreads and a fresh salad for a complete meal.

We hope you enjoy our Mixed Grill Hadramot as much as we enjoy bringing its rich heritage to your table.
