Half Adana Kebab is a half portion of Adana-style kebab: seasoned minced meat shaped around a skewer and grilled. It is typically spicy and may use lamb alone or a lamb-and-beef mixture, depending on the restaurant.
Half Adana Kebab is usually spicy because red pepper is mixed into the meat. The heat level varies by recipe and restaurant, so ask for a milder version when ordering if you prefer less spice.
Half Adana Kebab is generally made with hot pepper, while Urfa kebab is typically milder. Both are minced-meat kebabs grilled on skewers, and the exact seasoning and meat blend can vary between cooks.
Half Adana Kebab is commonly made with lamb, though some versions combine lamb and beef. The meat is seasoned, shaped onto a flat skewer, and grilled; the recipe and fat content can differ from one kebab shop to another.
Half Adana Kebab stays on the skewer when the minced meat is well worked and pressed firmly into an even layer. Chilling the shaped kebab before grilling and turning it only after the surface has set also helps it hold together.
Half Adana Kebab is often served with flatbread, grilled tomatoes and peppers, and a salad with onion and herbs. Yogurt or ayran can accompany it; adding fresh vegetables makes the plate less reliant on bread and rich sides.
Yes, Half Adana Kebab can be cooked on a very hot grill pan or under a hot oven broiler. Shape the seasoned mince firmly around a skewer or into a long patty, and cook until browned and fully cooked inside.
No, Half Adana Kebab does not always have to be made with lamb alone. Lamb is traditional, but some restaurants use a lamb-and-beef blend; the menu or restaurant can confirm which version they serve.
Store leftover Half Adana Kebab in a covered container in the refrigerator once it has cooled, rather than leaving it out for an extended period. Reheat it thoroughly before eating, and keep cooked kebab separate from raw meat.
Half Adana Kebab can be part of a balanced meal, but the grilled meat may be rich and the usual bread or rice sides can make the meal heavier. Pair it with salad or grilled vegetables and choose sides to suit your needs.

Half Adana Kebab is a half portion of the spicy minced-meat kebab associated with Adana, in southern Turkey. Lamb and beef are seasoned, pressed around a broad skewer and grilled over an open flame. The outside gets lightly charred while the centre stays juicy, with a pronounced peppery heat.
In Turkey it is commonly served with flatbread, grilled tomatoes and peppers, and onion salad; ayran is a popular drink alongside it. It provides protein but is also fairly rich in fat, so the portion can be filling. For a lighter plate, pair it with fresh salad and enjoy the bread according to your appetite.
