Adana Kebab on the skewer
Those who like spicy food cannot ignore this Adana Skewer. The name says it all: the origin of this meat skewer is in Adana, although some people refer to Aleppo. This Adana skewer is the most delicious on the charcoal barbecue! The real, original Adana Kebab consists of 60% lamb meat from the shoulder or leg and 40% lamb fat from the tail. This kebab is roughly chopped with a sharp knife and then a spicy red pepper or paprika is added. For more spice, the minced meat is seasoned with spices, a grated onion is added, and the minced meat is finely kneaded for 10 minutes. The minced meat is squeezed by hand around the long, wide skewers. These skewers are not grilled on a grid, but over a charcoal fire. The skewers are delicious in combination with a Turkish dürüm flat bread. Warm this flat bread on top of the meat to give the aroma of the spices and the smoky meat flavor. You then make this flat bread by putting the flat bread on your hand and putting the skewer in it. Then pull the Adana Kebab with your hands off the skewer. Fill the dürüm with delicious fresh parsley and a spoon of yogurt to soften the spiciness. Make this dish yourself with pure herbs and spices. Miras has everything to prepare this special meat skewer!
