What is Oltu Cağ Kebab?
Oltu Cağ Kebab is a lamb kebab associated with Oltu in Erzurum, eastern Turkey. Seasoned meat is stacked on a horizontal spit and slowly cooked over a wood fire; the browned outer layers are sliced onto small skewers as they cook. The result is savoury and smoky, with tender meat and crisp edges.
In its home region it is commonly served hot with thin bread, grilled peppers and tomatoes, and often onion or ayran. It is a filling, protein-rich dish, with much of its energy coming from the lamb’s fat. For a lighter plate, pair a modest portion with salad and go easy on the bread.
