Mixed grill

Mixed grill is a popular dish that originated in the United Kingdom, but has since spread to various parts of the world, including the Middle East, Latin America, and Australia. It typically consists of a variety of grilled meats served together on a single plate.

Origins and History

The mixed grill has its roots in the traditional English breakfast, which often includes a variety of meats such as bacon, sausage, and black pudding. Over time, this concept evolved into the mixed grill, a dish that is typically served for dinner rather than breakfast.

In the Middle East, the mixed grill (or "mashawi") often includes meats such as lamb, chicken, and beef, along with vegetables like tomatoes and onions. In Latin America, a mixed grill (or "parrillada") might include a variety of meats, sausages, and offal. In Australia, a mixed grill often includes lamb chops, a steak, sausages, and sometimes a lamb's fry.

Preparation and Serving

The preparation of a mixed grill involves grilling various types of meat, either on a barbecue or under a grill/broiler. The meats are often marinated beforehand to add flavor. The dish is typically served with a variety of sides, such as potatoes, salad, or rice, depending on the region.

In some restaurants, the mixed grill is served on a large platter, allowing diners to share the meal. This is particularly common in Middle Eastern and Latin American restaurants.

Variations

There are many variations of the mixed grill, depending on the region and personal preference. Some versions might include fish or seafood, while others might include offal such as liver or kidney. The types of meat used can also vary widely, from traditional meats like beef and chicken to more exotic meats like kangaroo in Australia.
