Cookinero 20 Apr 2025

Residents of Turkey are sure that their country is the birthplace of kebab. And to confirm this, they cite the story of Alexander the Great. It says that during one of his military campaigns, the commander prepared Iskander kebab according to the traditional recipe: he put thinly sliced lamb on a flatbread and poured yogurt over it.
