Cut the lamb into large cubes and the tail fat into small cubes.
Dice the tomatoes, cut the green peppers into large pieces, and peel the garlic cloves.
Mix the meat, tail fat, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper in a wide tray.
Bake the tray at 220°C for 20 minutes until the top takes on color.
Lower the oven to 175°C, loosely cover the tray with parchment paper, and cook for 55 minutes.
Remove the paper and roast for 10 more minutes until the juices in the tray concentrate.
Rest the meat for 8 minutes, spoon the vegetable juices over it, and serve.
💡 Tip: Do not cut the lamb too small; large diced pieces soften in the long oven time without drying out.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Bring Nigde tava to the table in its tray with optional hot pide, sumac onions, and ayran.
