İslim kebabı is a Turkish dish that looks like little packages wrapped in eggplant slices. The eggplant slices are wrapped around chunks of lamb or beef, or köfte, made with ground meat, along with a robust tomato sauce. When assembled and baked, and before serving, İslim kebabı is often topped with a tomato slice and a green pepper on top, and a toothpick is inserted through every package.

It is recommended to serve this colorful dish with rice pilaf on the side.
