This dish is served with different types of salads, sauces – pickled vegetables such as cabbage, carrot, chili and small slices of the cucumbers.
If you love spicy kabab then you should go for the Adana kebab, the most popular minced meat kabab that is cooked over a flaming fire. But if you do not like spicy food then you can go for Urfa kebabs which are less spicy.
Sis or Shish Kebab
These kababs are quite juicy, perfectly square of the chicken or lamb meat which is grilled on the skewers. The kababs are wrapped in bread and served in plastic sleeves for better taste by keeping the fat dripping in the cover. The leftover pieces for making the meat in square are mashed together with the garlic and tomato paste, placed over the skewers to make the kabab juicier, seriously a mouthwatering, and a delicious dish.
Probably the most famous kabab in the west, especially in the UK after beer, these cube pieces of meat are also used for wraps (turnings). These pieces are wrapped in thin bread which is called pita bread and topped with pickled slices of cucumber and sauce: tomato, mayonnaise or with the chili sauce.
Kofte Or Meat Balls
Kofte are also known as meat balls. Do not go into the kofte restaurant because you are not going to get anything else except kofte. These restaurants turn into a haven for those who are indecisive. The only choice you will get in these restaurants, either a full or half portion, whether you have fancy green salad or onion – beans and online fried in oil, and please don’t expect meatballs either.
Hamsi (Anchovy)
Fishing is a big industry, and millions of people love seafood. but in Turkish cuisine hasmi is the number one fish, and comes fresh from the black sea. It can be baked or poached but it gives you the best taste especially when it is fried. This intensive flavored fish is cooked completely as it is small in size. This delicious fish is coated in a small amount of flour, and placed in easy formation around the frying pan. The frying method of this fish is a bit different, once the first side of the fish is cooked, put the plate over it and flip the pan and cook the other side of the fish. Once the fish is cooked it serves the green salad.
