Furun Kebab

Furun Kebab, one of the oldest dishes of Konya, has been a must-have for large invitation tables and special occasions since the Ottoman period. Here is what you need to know about this unique flavor:

Origin and History

Furun Kebab has a deep-rooted history dating back to the Ottoman Palace. This dish, which has survived from Seljuk cuisine to the present day, used to be prepared early in the morning in the bakeries of the Konya bazaar and served at noon. The fact that it is traditionally cooked in stone ovens is the most important element that enhances the flavor of the dish.

Ingredients and Preparation

Preparation stages: Lamb meat is cut into large pieces and lightly salted. It is left to cook in its own juices and fat in a stone oven or wood fire. It is cooked slowly at a low temperature for about 3-4 hours. It is served when the meat is soft enough to easily separate from the bone.

Taste

Furun Kebab stands out with its soft texture that melts in your mouth and its intense meat flavor. Cooking it with only the natural flavor of the meat, without adding any extra oil, is one of the elements that makes this dish unique.

Cultural Significance

It is one of the most important dishes served in Konya, especially at weddings, holiday tables and when hosting special guests. It is a flavor preferred even by tradesmen for breakfast. It is traditionally served in large copper plates and eaten with hot lavash bread.
