Liver is served in different ways in Turkish cooking, and can be found on its own as a main course in a sizzling plate,[1] or as a kebab on shish skewers.[2] Ciğer kebab is not specific to any particular region of Turkey, but is common in cities like Gaziantep[3][4] and Diyarbakir.[5][6]

In Antep cuisine from the city of Gaziantep, the liver is often placed into lavaş bread with the option of adding mint, peppers and other complements. The dish is often eaten for breakfast in Diyarbakir and Gaziantep[7]
