Hatay Dürüm (Hatay-Style Kebab Wrap)

Hatay dürüm is the Antakya way of wrapping a minced kebab: the lavaş is coated with a red sauce of pepper paste, pomegranate molasses and spices before the meat goes in, then pressed back on the grill so the bread toasts and turns brick red. The filling is usually an Adana-style skewer of hand-chopped meat with tail fat, which makes it a close relative of Adana dürüm, but the sauced, toasted bread gives it a sour, smoky and spicier edge that the plain version does not have. Shops outside the province often sell it as soslu dürüm or Antakya usulü dürüm.
