Buğu kebabı ( Turkish for vapour kebab) is a lamb-based dish from the Turkish cuisine. [1] It is a stew, like tas kebabı. Buğu kebabı is made with leg meat, shallots, tomatoes, fresh oregano, garlic, bay leaves, tomato paste and spices. [2] [3] The essence of the dish is to cook it for one to one and a half hour in a covered pan on low heat [4] with little (one cup) to no water.
Buğu kebabı is sometimes translated into English as 'steam kebab'. [5] In the Turkish cuisine, there is an eggplant and meat stew/casserole called 'islim kebabı', (which is also translated as steam kebab [6] or steamed kebab [7]). Buğu kebabı should not be confused with either of these.
