Gaziantep Kusleme Kebab Product Description and Distinctive Features: Gaziantep Küşleme Kebabı, also known as Antep Küşleme Kebabı, is a traditional regional kebab made by seasoning lamb küşleme meat with salt and olive oil before grilling. This kebab has been prepared and enjoyed in Gaziantep for many years. Küşleme, also called lamb fillet, is a special cut of meat that can only be taken in two pieces from a single lamb. Each piece is roughly two fingers thick, about 17-18 cm in length, and weighs between 150-200 g. This meat is sourced from the middle section of the lamb’s back, alongside the lumbar bone on both sides. It is very lean and exceptionally tender because it contains no fat or sinews. Gaziantep Küşleme Kebabı / Antep Küşleme Kebabı is prepared by grilling this delicate and flavorful meat simply with salt and olive oil, without any additional seasoning or mixing. Gaziantep Küşleme Kebabı / Antep Küşleme Kebabı holds an important place in the culinary traditions of Gaziantep and is enjoyed year-round. Production Method: Ingredients for one serving of Gaziantep Küşleme Kebabı / Antep Küşleme Kebabı: - Lamb Küşleme (150-200 g) - Salt (2-5 g) - Olive Oil (15-25 g) Because küşleme meat is naturally tender and full of flavor, no additional spices or seasonings are required. The küşleme is cut into large chunks and lightly coated with salt and olive oil. These marinated pieces are then carefully skewered. Next, prepare a charcoal grill using hardwood charcoal. Burn the charcoal until it becomes glowing embers with no visible flames by closing the grill’s lower air vents. The kebab is grilled evenly on all sides, avoiding charring. The preferred doneness is medium. Gaziantep Küşleme Kebabı / Antep Küşleme Kebabı is traditionally served alongside thin flatbread, fresh parsley salad, and roasted peppers and tomatoes.
