Adana kebab

Turkey · Middle East and North Africa

Short description: This kebab is a long, spicy minced-lamb skewer grilled over coals and served with flatbread and grilled vegetables.
Ingredients: Hand-minced lamb and tail fat seasoned with red pepper and salt, served with flatbread, grilled vegetables, parsley, and onion.
Cultural note: Its texture comes from hand-mincing and firm skewer shaping, giving a juicy strip that chars at the edges.
Common misconception: It is not sliced from a rotating spit; the meat is shaped by hand around a flat skewer.
