Fıstıklı Kebab with grilled pistachio lamb

Fıstıklı Kebab (Pistachio Kebab)

Fıstıklı Kebab, or pistachio kebab, is a special Turkish dish popular mainly in the southeastern regions, such as the city of Gaziantep. The rich, oily flavor of pistachios harmonizes perfectly with lamb, making this kebab truly unique. A characteristic of Turkish cuisine is the combination of various spices and nuts in meat dishes, and Fıstıklı Kebab is a perfect example of this tradition. The authentic version is often cooked over charcoal to achieve an even richer, smoky flavor. For best results, use fresh, high-quality pistachios and fatty lamb so that the kebab doesn't dry out during cooking. Serve with fresh salad, yogurt sauce, and grilled vegetables for an authentic Turkish taste experience.
