How is testi kebab meat cooked?

Why is testi kebab meat cooked in a clay pot?

Testi kebab meat is cooked in a sealed clay pot to hold in steam and cooking juices as it slowly softens. The pot is also central to the dish’s traditional presentation, rather than just a decorative serving container.

Why do restaurants break the pot for testi kebab meat?

Restaurants open or break the pot so they can serve the testi kebab meat inside. It is a traditional, theatrical presentation; the pot may release hot steam and sharp pieces, so diners should let staff handle it.

What is Testi kebab meat?

Testi kebab meat is the meat served in testi kebab, a slow-cooked dish associated particularly with Cappadocia in central Turkey. Lamb or beef is commonly cooked with onion, tomato, peppers and spices inside a sealed earthenware pot. The meat softens in its own juices and takes on the flavour of the vegetables and seasoning.
