Here are typical recipes for the foods featured in the setup (meat skewers, fries, and mixed side snacks):

  1. Meat skewer (kebab) recipe:
    • Ingredients: 1 kg beef or chicken cubes, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp cumin, salt & pepper, optional marinade sauce (e.g., yogurt or tomato).
    • Method: Mix spices & oil, coat meat, marinate 2–4 hrs. Thread onto skewers, grill 10–15 min, turning until charred and cooked through. Add sauce (like the red sauce on the middle skewer) after grilling if desired.
  2. French fries recipe:
    • Ingredients: potatoes, vegetable oil, salt.
    • Method: Cut potatoes into sticks, soak in water 30 min, dry. Fry in hot oil (180 °C) twice (first for softening, second for crisping). Season with salt.
