Kuzu Tandir Et

Kuzu Tandır (Slow Roasted Lamb)

⏱ 4 hr🍽 6 servings🔥 Medium

Lamb shoulder rubbed with butter and warm spices, then roasted low and slow until it falls from the bone. A celebratory Anatolian centerpiece, rich and tender.

Ingredients

  • 1 bone in lamb shoulder, about 2 kg
  • 4 tbsp butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp beef tallow, melted
  • 6 garlic cloves, halved

An Anatolian table laid for a shared meal
Bizim Mutfagimiz

A Kitchen Rooted in the Anatolian Table

Buckor Sofra began with a simple belief, that the food of Anatolia tastes best when it is made the honest way. From the anchovy boats of the Black Sea to the spice stalls of Gaziantep, our cooking leans on the ingredients and the good fats that generations of Turkish kitchens have always trusted.

Every recipe we share is built on real butter, fruity olive oil, and traditional tallow, never refined vegetable or seed oils. We test each dish until it feels like something you would be proud to set on the table, then write it down plainly so it travels well into your own home.

This is unhurried cooking. A pot of lentils left to soften, dough given time to rise, lamb allowed to fall from the bone. We invite you to slow down, warm the pan, and taste what patience and good ingredients can do.
