Looking for a Turkish Lamb and Bread Dish from Adana

Question

I spent several yeas in Adana Turkey. One of my favorite meals was a dish made of sliced lamb (I think) tht was cooked in heavy oil (I assume olive) and served over Turkish bread deluged in the hot oil-served on a hot plate. I travelled & worked all over Turkey for years but seemed to find it only in Adana. I have searched for years & cannot find a recipe for it. Are you able to fid the recipe?

Hi Clarence - I checked in with Albert Stumm, one of our writers who traveled to Turkey for us, and he said that, while he had something similar in Instabul, he didn’t travel to Adana on his previous trip so is in  unable to impart any real wisdom. However, we are hoping to return to Turkey in the next year or so, so we will definitely add this to our list of potential recipes to tackle! Thanks for writing in and bringing it to our attention! Best, Lynn C.
