Cut the lamb leg into large pieces and rub with salt and black pepper.
Rest the meat in a covered container in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Spread the tail fat over the base of a cast iron pot and place the lamb pieces on top.
Cover the pot and cook in a 170°C oven for 90 minutes.
Open the lid, add the tomatoes and green peppers to the tray, and roast at 220°C for 25 minutes.
Slice the onion into salad strips and mix with parsley.
Rest the meat for 20 minutes and serve with lavash, roasted vegetables, and onion.
💡 Tip: Rest the lamb with salt for 24 hours; this wait imitates the way tandoor cooking softens the fibers from within.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the meat on a large platter with lavash, sumac onion, roasted peppers, and ayran if desired.
