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.
It is served hot, often with the cooking juices, and may come alongside rice, bulgur or bread. This is a filling, protein-rich choice: a 100 g portion has 24.8 g of protein and 13.2 g of fat. For a lighter plate, keep the added oil modest and pair it with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables.
