The spices in this kebab blend are reminiscent of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern flavors. It is a unique blend of Cinnamon, cardamom and other spices. The aromatic notes from the sweet spices balance the fat from the meat and compliment the lemon juice and chilies added in the recipe. This is a child-friendly blend.
