Description
Turkey has hundreds of distinct kebab preparations — far beyond the generic 'kebab' of Western takeaway shops. Each region has its signature: Adana (spiced minced lamb on flat skewers), İskender (döner slices over pide bread with tomato sauce and yogurt), Beyti (minced lamb wrapped in lavash), Ali Nazik (smoky aubergine purée topped with lamb), and Tandır (whole lamb slow-cooked in a vertical clay oven). Musa Dağdeviren's Turkish Cookbook documents regional variations that have never been recorded in English before. The charcoal grill (mangal) technique is central — meat over white-hot coals, managed with precision timing.
