About this dish

İskender kebap is a Turkish dish that consists of sliced meat topped with hot tomato sauce over pieces of pita bread, and generously slathered with melted special sheep's milk butter and yogurt. It can be prepared from thinly cut grilled lamb or chicken. The prepared kebab is placed at a distance of 10–15 cm (3.9–5.9 in) from the previously lit fire and is cooked slowly, then it is cut thinly with a knife from top to bottom and is then served. Tomato sauce and melted butter are generally poured over the dish at the table, for the customer's amusement.
