Kiremitte Kebap (Tile-Baked Kebap):
In Cappadocia one restaurant has invented its own version of this dish -- testi kebap, which is cooked in an earthenware pot shaped like a vase. The meat is pushed down the neck into the belly of the pot with peppers, tomato and spices, and is then left standing near the ovens all day to cook slowly, sealed with a thin piece of dough. To serve, the neck is whacked off with a heavy blade, and the contents are spilled from the belly.
