Originating from Turkey’s Aegean region, çöp şis is a kebab variety which can be literally translated as trash shish or garbage shish. Despite its unusual name, this delicious dish is made with roasted lamb scraps and fat, the leftovers from trimming the meat for the classic shish kebab.
The meat is traditionally flavored with garlic and tomatoes, marinated in a combination of olive oil, oregano, and black pepper, then placed on split wood skewers and quickly roasted. And that translated name mentioned earlier, garbage shish, is believed to refer either to the small wooden skewers or the fact that the dish is made with scraps and leftovers.
This kebab variety is typically served as an appetizer before the main meal, preferably with spicy green peppers on the side.
