Adana kebab

Adana kebab is a minced-meat preparation shaped by hand around a skewer and grilled. GoTürkiye’s kebab guide describes beef or lamb mixed with seasonings and distinguishes the spicy Adana version from the milder Urfa kebab. Red pepper flakes are among the seasonings associated with Adana’s version. Grilled vegetables are commonly served separately from the meat skewer.[1]

The kebab is closely associated with Adana’s food culture. The city’s kebab and şalgam festival brings barbecues into streets around the old Büyüksaat neighbourhood. Şalgam is the accompanying drink named in the festival.[2]
