What is Urfa liver kebab?
Urfa liver kebab is a speciality associated with Şanlıurfa in southeastern Turkey. Pieces of lamb or sheep’s liver are threaded onto skewers and cooked over hot coals, giving them a lightly charred exterior and a tender centre. The flavour is distinctively savoury and earthy, with a hint of smoke.
In Turkey it is commonly served hot with parsley and sumac-dressed onion, often alongside grilled peppers, tomatoes and flatbread. It works as a substantial main or as part of a shared kebab meal. The liver makes it especially rich in protein, iron and vitamin B12, while the dish is low in carbohydrates. For a lighter plate, pair it with a generous salad and go easy on the bread.
