Urfa Kebab

Urfa kebap is the hand-minced lamb skewer of Şanlıurfa in southeastern Türkiye, grilled over charcoal and served on lavaş with roasted onions, tomatoes and long peppers. It is the mild twin of Adana kebap: the meat, the tail fat and the wide flat skewer are the same, but Urfa leaves out the hot chilli. In Urfa itself the dish is usually just called kebap, and the city's own pepper, isot, appears as a dark, smoky seasoning at the table rather than as heat in the meat.
