Adana Kebab is a traditional Turkish dish made of ground lamb or beef mixed with spices and herbs, then skewered and grilled to perfection. It’s known for its spicy, savory flavors and is often served with flatbread, grilled vegetables, or a side of rice.

 

Ingredients

– 500g ground lamb

– 200g ground beef

– 1 medium onion, finely chopped

– 2 cloves garlic, minced

– 1 tbsp paprika

– 1 tbsp cumin

– 1 tsp red pepper flakes

– 1 tsp black pepper

– 1 tbsp salt

– 1/2 bunch parsley, finely chopped

– 1 tbsp olive oil

– 1 tbsp tomato paste

– 1/2 tsp baking soda

– 1/4 tsp sumac (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground lamb, ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, paprika, cumin, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt.

2. Add the chopped parsley, olive oil, tomato paste, baking soda, and sumac (if using). Mix thoroughly until the meat mixture becomes sticky.

3. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. Preheat your grill or barbecue. If using skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

5. Take a handful of the meat mixture and mold it around the skewer, pressing it tightly to form a long, oval shape.

6. Grill the kebabs over medium heat, turning occasionally, until they are evenly cooked and browned on the outside (about 8-10 minutes).

7. Serve with flatbread, grilled vegetables, or a side of rice.

 

Notes

– You can adjust the spiciness by increasing or decreasing the amount of red pepper flakes.

– Sumac adds a nice tangy flavor, but it is optional in this recipe.

– For a more tender kebab, ensure to mix the meat mixture well to activate the proteins, which help the kebab hold together.
