Lamb Tandoor

Lamb Tandoor (Kuzu Tandır) is a traditional Turkish dish deeply rooted in Anatolian culinary heritage. It is prepared by slow-roasting a whole lamb or lamb shoulder in a closed clay oven or modern tandoor until the meat becomes tender enough to fall off the bone. The dish is often seasoned with salt, thyme, bay leaves, and black pepper, allowing the natural flavor of the lamb to shine. Served with rice, bulgur, or flatbread, Kuzu Tandır is considered a symbol of hospitality and celebration, frequently enjoyed during festivals, weddings, and family gatherings.
