Adana Kebab (or Adana Kebap) is one of the most popular kebab recipes in Turkey and around the world. This recipe for grilled meat kebabs originated in the Turkish city of Adana.
It’s a mixture of beef and lamb seasoned with chili, bell pepper, parsley, onion and garlic. Adana Kebab is usually served with French fries, a summer salad such as Shirazi, or a Bulgur Pilavi.

Preparing Adana Kebab skewersOnce the meat has rested, use flat metal skewers (I use 8 for this recipe). Divide the meat into 8 equal portions and thread each onto a skewer. Try to form skewers about 15cm long and 3cm wide. It's important that your skewers are roughly the same size to ensure even cooking. |

Cooking your Adana Kebab skewersTo cook your delicious Adana brochettes, you can use a charcoal grill, an electric grill, an oven or simply a large frying pan. I personally use the barbecue, but this recipe is also very easy to cook in the oven. Grill your Adana brochettes for around 10 to 15 minutes on each side, turning regularly to check doneness. The cooking time will be shorter if you make smaller skewers. |
