World Kebab Day

Happy World Kebab Day!

 

Drop all your Friday dinner plans and join us in celebrating the mouth-watering creation that is kebab!

Today marks the second Friday of July which many around the world refer to as World Kebab Day. With the sun out all weekend, we couldn’t have asked for better BBQ weather in honour of this day!

Whether you’re skewering meat, chicken, vegetables, or tofu, traditional Mediterranean flatbreads have always been kebab’s most time-honoured companion.

Now, what is kebab?

For those of you who are not familiar with the concept, kebab refers to an ancient Middle Eastern dish that traditionally consists of cubes of meat grilled on a skewer. Kebab has been talked about in many cultures for centuries now. From a 10th century Baghdadi cookbook, all the way to Homer’s Iliad, kebab has been a staple dish in various cultures around the world such as the Middle East, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

So, why not celebrate today by sinking your teeth into a delicious kebab accompanied by one of Dina Foods’ signature breads?

A combination that never manages to disappoint is pairing one of our traditional Lebanese flatbreads (also known as “khobez” in the Middle East) with the kebab of your choice!

Our signature Paninette® line is perfect to make a wrap out of the skewered juicy treats! If you’re looking to get your hands dirty, you can use our Paninette® bread (white or wholemeal) as an edible utensil for sliding the kebab off the skewer in one go. Straight from the skewer to your belly!

If you’re feeling particularly peckish, you can use our traditional square Lavash flatbread instead. It’s a bit thicker than our Paninette® bread but it tastes just as delicious when paired with a kebab.

Alternatively, why not try our range of Pitta breads that can transform your simple kebab into a delicious pocket of savoury goodness? Our range of white and wholemeal Pitta bread gives you the opportunity to get creative since you can customise your own sandwich with the vegetables, spices, sauces, and proteins of your choice.

If you’re looking to kick back and relax in preparation for the sunny weekend, put your mind at ease and get inspired by one of our recipe videos on Instagram found here.

So, join us in celebrating World Kebab Day by making your own unique kebab accompanied by one of Dina Foods’ traditional Middle Eastern flatbreads! They can be purchased at Tesco, Morrisons, Asda and Booths!
