What is Aynalı kebab?
Aynalı kebab is a Turkish kebab built around minced meat and eggplant, which may be cooked together on skewers or in the oven depending on the local or household recipe. The eggplant turns soft and gently smoky, while the seasoned meat brings a savoury richness. It is usually served hot as a main dish, often with flatbread, bulgur, grilled vegetables or a fresh salad; yoghurt or ayran makes a cooling accompaniment. For English-speaking diners, it fits naturally into a shared Mediterranean-style meal, alongside simple sides that let the smoky flavours stand out. It provides protein from the meat, while its overall richness depends on the mince and added cooking fat. Choose leaner mince and add salad for a lighter plate.
