Shish kofta ( şiş köfte) [1] ( Turkish) [2] [3] is a type of kebab-style kofta dish in Turkish cuisine.
The dish consists of minced lamb, mutton, veal or beef, or a mixture of these meats mixed with herbs, often including parsley and mint, placed on a şiş ( skewer) and grilled. It is typically served with pilav (Turkish-style rice or bulgur wheat) and salad.
There are several regional variations on shish kofta. Tire köfte is made mainly with veal. [4]
The city of Burdur is known for its distinct variant of shish kofta known as Burdur şiş, [5] which is traditionally made with minced goat meat (or more commonly with beef today), [6] with salt but no spices or herbs, and eaten with a special type of pita bread. [7] Burdur şiş was officially recognised as a distinct variant of shish kofta by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office in 2010. [8]
Shish kofta is also the basis of yoğurtlu kebap (kebab with yogurt). [3] [9]
