Taste Çöp Şiş (Shish or Garbage Shish)

Discover the delicious taste of Shish Kebab – a traditional Middle Eastern dish made of marinated meat skewers grilled to perfection. Enjoy the rich and flavorful blend of spices in every bite.

The çöp şis kebab, originating from the Aegean region of Turkey, is a unique and tasty dish made from roasted lamb scraps and fat, the remnants from trimming meat for traditional shish kebabs. The meat is marinated in a blend of olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, oregano, and black pepper, then grilled on split wooden skewers to perfection. Despite its name, “garbage shish,” it is a highly-regarded delicacy, the name likely referring to the small skewers or the use of leftover ingredients. Enjoy as an appetizer with spicy green peppers on the side.
