Sharing is caring!

Take your taste buds on a journey to Turkey with our genuine Adana Kebab recipe. This dish, from Adana, is a mix of flavours and spices that will make you want more.

Ingredients:

1 pound ground lamb (or a mixture of lamb and beef)

1 large onion, finely grated

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup warm water

Instructions:

•  Combine the ground lamb, grated onion, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
• Use your hands to knead the mixture until it’s well combined and slightly sticky.
•  Gradually add the warm water, kneading until the mixture becomes cohesive but not too wet.
•  Divide the mixture into equal portions into long, flat cylinders.
• Thread each cylinder onto a flat metal skewer.
•  Grill the kebabs over high heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
• Serve immediately

Useful Tips:

For a spicier kebab, increase the amount of red pepper flakes.

If you don’t have a flat metal skewer, you can use a long, thin metal skewer and flatten the meat around it.

What to serve with the kabab?

1. Classic side dishes for kebabs often include soft Turkish rice or bulgur, which help balance the spicy kebab. Grilled veggies like tomatoes, peppers, and onions add a smoky flavour.
2. A cool shepherd’s salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and parsley, dressed with olive oil and lemon juice, cleanses the taste buds.
3. A creamy yoghurt dip, such as cacık or tzatziki, contrasts the kebab’s spiciness. For a full meal, serve warm, freshly baked flatbreads and a sweet pomegranate molasses drizzle
