A traditional recipe native to the Ankara region, in which leg of lamb is wrapped in parchment paper with a sauce made of tomatoes and peppers, then baked in the oven. Cooked in its own steam, the meat stays extremely tender; served by opening the paper at the table, it's one of the special delights of hosting guests.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the filling

15 min

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

2

Wrap in foil

10 min

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

3

Bake in the oven

60 min

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

4

Prepare for serving

5 min

Carefully open the paper, transfer to a hot serving plate, and serve.

Reminder

Important: If you don't wrap the paper tightly, steam escapes and the meat won't reach the desired tenderness. Caution: Be careful when opening the paper after taking it out of the oven so the hot steam doesn't hit your face.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you use an oven bag instead of parchment paper, you'll get the same result; what matters is that the steam doesn't escape.

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