A traditional Ankara-region dish made by wrapping lamb leg with a tomato and pepper sauce in parchment paper and baking it. The meat cooks in its own steam and stays very tender. It is a special dish for entertaining, served by opening the parchment at the table.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the filling

15 min

Mix the lamb with the onion, tomato, green pepper, olive oil, salt, and spices.

2

Wrap in parchment

10 min

Spread the mixture in the center of the parchment paper and wrap it tightly so no steam can escape.

3

Bake

60 min

Place the wrapped packet on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven until the meat is tender.

4

Prepare to serve

5 min

Carefully open the parchment, transfer the food to a warm serving plate, and serve.

Reminder

Important: wrap the parchment tightly so steam cannot escape and the meat can become tender. Be careful when opening the parchment after removing it from the oven so the hot steam does not hit your face.

İkinci kez yapıyorum, ilkinden de güzel oldu. Çocuklar sebzeli olduğunu fark etmeden yediler, bu da ayrı bir başarı.
