Trim the excess membrane from the lamb shoulder and leave the meat in large pieces.
Rub the meat with salt and black pepper and rest it covered for 30 minutes.
Grease the baking dish and arrange the meat in a single layer, without stacking the pieces.
Cover the dish and cook in a 160°C oven for 3 hours so the meat does not stay tough.
Shred the meat, place it over hot pide, and serve with its own fat.
Heat the fat in the baking dish for 2 minutes and drizzle it over the meat.
Warm the pide briefly before adding the meat so the tandir juices do not make it doughy.
💡 Tip: Cook the meat covered at low heat; the fibers should separate at the touch of a fork.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve with pide and sumac onions.
