Slow Cooked Lamb Tandır Recipe
Tandır kebap is one of the local specialties of lots od cities in Turkey. Almost all the people think that you can eat the best tandır in their city. Now we add another spot for the best tandır kebap; your home. All you have to do is go to a good butcher and find a good lamb meat.
After you find the best meat, you don't have to do anything other than waiting. All you have to do is wait, but wait patiently. If you are impatient and open the lid of the pot every two minute, you can get lamb rubber instead of lamb tandır as there will be a loss of heat and steam. Lamb tandır should be cooked for a long time at low temperature.
