For the kebap,
250 g ground beef, (rib) single ground (alternatively, lamb meat or a mixture of 60% beef & 40% lamb)
1 red hot chili pepper, finely chopped (soak in hot water if using dried pepper)
1/3 red pepper, finely chopped (bell peppers works great as well)
4 small green peppers, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
Lavaş (or tortillas)

For the red onions with sumac,
2 red onions, sliced into semicircles
7-8 sprigs of parsley, chopped
A pinch of salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1,5 tablespoons ground sumac

• Soak 4 wooden skewers in water for an hour to prevent burning. You can skip that step if you using metal skewers.
• Mix the red hot chili pepper, red pepper, green peppers and the garlic and chop them together again.
• Season with salt and red pepper flakes -if using sweet peppers-.
• Add the meat and chop them together to mix for 2 minutes.
• Divide the mixture into 4 equal parts.
• Mold each part onto separate skewers. Slowly push the meat mixture from top to the bottom with your fingers. Leave 3 cm gaps from the top and the bottom of the skewer. If the meat mixture seperate from the skewer, refrigerate it for around 15 minutes. Wetting your hands with cold water will help preventing stickiness.
• Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• These are traditionally cooked on the barbecue, but I have a technique for you to create the same great taste at home using a cast iron pan. Heat your cast iron pan on high heat.
• When the pan is hot, place your skewers on the sides of the pan without touching any part touching the bottom. This way, the heat from the pan will cook them.
• Flip the skewers regularly and cook for 5-6 minutes.
• For the onion with sumac, sprinkle a pinch of salt on the onions and rub it to soften.
• Add in the olive oil, ground sumac, parsley, the rest of the salt, then mix again.
• Put the lavaş on the kebap and press to let the bread soak all the flavours from the kebap.
• It is time to eat! Wrap them all together in the lavash and take the perfect bite. Enjoy with your loved ones!

  6. Hello! I absolutely LOVE kebabs and will definitely try making my own. Since I'm a new subscriber, I haven't had time to go through all your videos yet. But I intend to do that eventually. I wish you all the best. Thanks for sharing!💐

  8. Thank you so much for the recipe. Was in Greece recently and enjoyed Adana kebab.
    Have more or less all the ingredients except for Sumac. Could you suggest a substitute.
    Thank you.

  9. Hi Refika. Love your videos! Recently, I dined in a local Turkish restaurant (Barans) here in Toronto. The restaurant was packed with diners. The food was excellent, cooked in an open kitchen over charcoal grills, visible to all of the diners. Our chunk meat kebabs came wrapped in what appeared to be a filo sheet of pastry, which we saw the chef apply when the meat was cooked. It was so tasty, as the filo had absorbed the juices of the meat which we then packed into the garnished lavash. Heaven on earth! Question: is this normal to wrap the cooked meat before serving or is this a regional variation. Regardless, Turkish cooking is wonderful! Thank you so much for your videos. Norm, Canada 🍁
