What is Liver Wrap?

Liver Wrap is a Turkish street-food wrap, especially associated with the country’s southeast. It usually combines small pieces of seasoned, cooked lamb liver with thin flatbread; onion, parsley and sumac are common additions, though fillings vary by vendor.

Served hot, it brings together the liver’s deep, savoury flavour, soft bread and the freshness of onion and herbs. In Turkey it is often eaten as a filling lunch or evening meal, sometimes with pickles or ayran. It is high in protein and makes a substantial meal, with the flatbread adding carbohydrates. A crisp salad alongside works well and keeps the meal feeling fresher.
