Meat prepared on a mangal

Mangal is a Middle Eastern barbecue— it is the grilling apparatus on which meat, vegetables and etc. is cooked.

Etymology

The word mangal is derived from the Arabic word manqal (منقل) meaning "portable"[1] and originally referred to portable heaters used by Bedouin to warm tents during the cold desert evenings. The portability of heating equipment – as well as all other belongings – is vital for the Bedouin's nomadic lifestyle. Today, these Mangals have largely been replaced by modern heaters and stoves.[citation needed]

Description

A mangal is typically used to grill various cuts of meat, such as steak, hamburgers, kebab, shashlik, chicken wings and chicken breasts. Roasted vegetables, salads and other cold foods accompany the meal.
