Instructions
- 1
Cut the lamb kusleme into large bites and prepare the tail fat in small cubes.
- 2
Gently mix the kusleme, tail fat, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and olive oil in a wide bowl.
- 3
Thread the meat and tail fat alternately onto skewers, keeping the pieces snug without crushing them.
- 4
Slice the onion into half-moons, rub with sumac, and set aside for serving.
- 5
Roast the green peppers near the edge of the coals for 6 minutes, turning them.
6 min06:00 - 6
Cook the skewers over strong embers for 8 to 10 minutes, turning until the outside browns and the inside stays juicy.
10 min10:00 - 7
Serve Gaziantep kusleme immediately with sumac onions and roasted green peppers.
💡 Tip: Ask the butcher specifically for kusleme; choosing another cut just because it resembles tenderloin will not give the Gaziantep-style tenderness.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve kusleme hot on a copper serving plate with flatbread, sumac onions, and roasted green peppers if desired.
