Kokoreç
Turkey · Middle East and North Africa
Kokoreç is prepared from sheep intestine grilled over a fire and served as street food. It is often eaten as a sandwich in a thick bread roll. GoTürkiye identifies it among İstanbul’s familiar street foods and notes that seasoning levels vary, with some cooks offering a version without added spices.[1][2]
A seasoned preparation may use black pepper, chilli flakes, thyme and salt. Cooked, finely chopped tomato and pepper can be mixed into the grilled intestine. The tourism agency also describes kokoreç as a late-night snack.[2]
