Adana kebabı is built from meat hand-chopped with a broad, cleaver-like blade known locally as a zırh. That blade, rather than a mincer, gives the kebab its distinctive coarse texture. Spread along a skewer and cooked over fire, it takes its name from its home province and carries a registered geographical indication.
