Buryan, made from the meat of milk lambs, is the slowest-cooked and most laborious dish of Kurtalan gastronomic culture. Whole meats suspended in pit ovens approximately 2-3 meters deep are cooked by the steam of a wood fire. To taste this delicacy, which is common throughout Siirt, from registered masters in the district, you can visit the buryan restaurants on the map.
Ingredients
- Whole milk lamb meat
- Oak wood for pit oven
- Salt
- Water (to create steam)
- Flatbread for serving
Preparation
- The deep pit oven is heated with oak wood until it turns into embers.
- A large copper cauldron filled with water is placed at the bottom of the pit.
- The bone-in and boneless lamb meats are hung on hooks and lowered into the pit.
- The mouth of the pit is sealed with mud, and the meat is left to cook in its own steam for about 2 hours.
