Kuzu Tandır (Turkish Kebab)

Kuzu Tandır (Turkish Kebab) Introduction: Kuzu Tandır is a traditional Turkish dish, embodying the rich flavors of slow-cooked lamb. Originating from the Ottoman era, this dish was historically prepared in a tandır, an underground clay oven. Today, it's typically roasted in a conventional oven, resulting in tender, fall-off-the-bone meat that's infused with aromatic spices. This kebab is often served with rice, bulgur, or flatbread, and is a highlight of festive meals in Turkey. Ingredients: 1.5 kg lamb shoulder or leg, bone-in 4 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika 2 bay leaves 1 sprig rosemary 1 onion, quartered 1 carrot, cut into large pieces
