Chilled items & warm-weather notice

We ship chilled (perishable) foods with ice-gel packs, kept refrigerated. In warm weather, light oil sweating on cured products such as sucuk/pastırma, or softening of cheese, is normal and not a sign of spoilage — it returns to normal once chilled. Please refrigerate items immediately on delivery and be available to receive your order on the delivery day.

Perishable foods are exempt from the 14-day change-of-mind return; your statutory rights for genuine quality or safety issues remain unaffected.

Description

The smoky, spicy flavour of a proper Adana kebab is one of the great tastes of Turkish street food, and this 65g pack of Başak Adana kebab seasoning helps you recreate it at home. It is a ready-blended mix designed for minced meat, so you can skip measuring out individual spices and get straight to shaping and grilling.

What Makes an Adana Kebab?

Named after the southern Turkish city of Adana, this famous kebab is made from hand-minced meat, traditionally lamb with some tail fat, mixed with red pepper flakes and salt, then pressed onto wide, flat skewers and grilled over hot charcoal. It is known for its fiery warmth, juicy texture and the gentle char from the grill. In Adana, it is usually served with lavash, grilled tomatoes and peppers, onions with sumac and plenty of parsley.

The secret lies in the seasoning, which needs to be bold enough to stand up to rich meat and smoke while still letting the flavour of the lamb shine through.

Why Use a Ready Blend?

This kebab spice mix combines the warm, peppery flavours typical of Adana-style cooking into one easy blend. Spice mixes of this kind usually feature red pepper flakes, cumin, black pepper and other aromatic spices, but please check the pack for the exact ingredients. Using a balanced mix saves time and gives you consistent results every time you cook. A pack of Adana kebab seasoning in the cupboard also means a spontaneous barbecue is never a problem, even when you have not planned ahead.

A Simple Method

Great homemade kebabs are easier than you might think. Here is a simple method.

Place 500g of minced lamb, or a mix of lamb and beef, in a bowl with one finely grated onion squeezed of its juice.
Add the seasoning according to the pack instructions, plus a handful of finely chopped parsley.
Knead well for several minutes until the mixture becomes sticky and holds together.
Chill for 30 minutes, then shape around flat skewers or into long patties.
Grill over charcoal, on a griddle pan or under a hot grill, turning until browned and cooked through.

How to Serve

Serve on warm lavash or pide with grilled peppers and tomatoes, sliced red onion tossed with sumac and parsley, and a wedge of lemon. Add a bowl of cacık or a glass of cold ayran or şalgam to complete the meal, and finish with a small glass of black tea, just as you would at a kebab house in Turkey.

More Ways to Use Adana Kebab Seasoning

Mix into köfte or burgers for a spicy twist.
Rub onto chicken thighs or lamb chops before grilling.
Stir into minced meat for lahmacun or pide toppings.
Season roasted vegetables or potatoes.

Storage
