Where to eat Develi cıvıklı in Kayseri?

Develi cıvıklı

The flavours of Kayseri’s districts are just as legendary as those of the city centre… So much so that, according to legend, Yavuz Sultan Selim (Sultan Selim I) issued an imperial decree (ferman) about Develi cıvıklı. Along with this legend, the dish has been preserved and passed down from generation to generation.

Mouth-watering Develi cıvıklı gets its name from the way chunks of meat are finely chopped with a double-bladed knife and the fat is worked until soft with blows of the double blade. Meat from sheep and cattle raised on the slopes of Mount Erciyes is rested for a full day to get it ready for cooking. It is spread on a pide-shaped dough together with tomatoes and peppers and slid into the oven. After 5 minutes in a stone oven, it is ready to serve.
