To make Fried Lamb Spleen, trim away the outer membrane and any visible clots, rinse briefly, and pat it dry. Slice it thinly and fry in a hot pan until fully cooked; overcooking can make the texture tough.

Fried Lamb Spleen is lamb spleen, cleaned, sliced and cooked in a pan until browned. It belongs to the wider tradition of offal cookery found across Turkey, where it is usually served hot as a hearty meal or street-food-style bite rather than as a breakfast staple. Its flavour is rich and distinctive, with a tender, slightly firm texture; cooking it for too long can make it dry. Bread, onion, herbs and a squeeze of lemon make familiar accompaniments. It is notably rich in protein, iron and vitamin B12, while frying contributes to its fat content. For a lighter plate, use less oil and pair it with a fresh salad.
