Traditional Adana Kebab

The story behind

Kebab is much more than fast food; it is a tradition of hospitality and intense flavor. What I enjoy most about this version is the balance between the smokiness of the grilled meat and the freshness of the parsley and onion salad that accompanies it. It is a dish that feels rustic but requires professional technique to keep the meat juicy. Ideal for a dinner with friends looking for something authentic, clean, and visually appealing.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Mix the minced meat with spices and knead until the mixture is homogeneous and tacky.
  2. 2
    Form long cylinders around flat metal skewers.
  3. 3
    Grill over high heat (preferably charcoal), turning constantly until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. 4
    Lightly warm the pita bread and place the meat inside.
  5. 5
    Garnish with the onion, tomato, and fresh parsley mixture before rolling and serving.
