İskender kebap

(Bursa kebabı, Alexander Kebab)

A specialty of the city of Bursa, İskender kebap is named after a butcher called İskender Efendi, who first prepared this flavorful dish. It consists of thinly sliced lamb that is grilled and combined with a spicy tomato sauce and pita bread, while melted sheep butter and yogurt are traditionally drizzled over the dish at the table.


It is recommended to pair this kebap with şıra, a Turkish beverage that is known to aid digestion.
