Çöp Şiş (say "chop shish") is a super tasty type of lamb shish kebab. It's a popular dish all over Anatolia, which is a big part of Turkey. Think of it as small, delicious pieces of meat cooked on a stick!
The name "Çöp" is a bit interesting. In modern Turkish, it can mean "garbage" or "rubbish." Some people think the name came from using smaller pieces of lamb. These are the bits that might not be used for other types of kebabs. So, it's like a clever way to use every part of the meat!
Making Çöp Şiş
Çöp şiş is usually cooked on thin wooden skewers. This is different from many other kebabs that use metal sticks. To prepare this yummy dish, lamb meat and small pieces of fat are mixed together.
The meat then gets a special marinade. This means it soaks in a mix of garlic, tomato, black pepper, oregano, and olive oil. This marinade gives the lamb its amazing flavor. After soaking, the meat is cooked over a hot grill called an "ocak."
How to Enjoy Çöp Şiş
When your Çöp şiş is ready, it's often served with grilled peppers and onions. You can eat it just like that, or you can wrap the lamb and vegetables in fresh bread. It's a delicious and fun meal to share!
