It’s not your meemaw’s pot pie. Nor is it called “pot pie” on Edessa Restaurant’s extensive menu of Kurdish and Turkish cuisine. Rather, it’s testi kebabi (“clay pot kabob”). Should the description — “finely chopped marinated pieces of lamb cooked with special Turkish spices and vegetables in delicious sauce for hours to maximize the taste” — compel you to order it (and I highly recommend you do), your server will ask you if you would like to have that stew poured into a ceramic dish, covered and sealed with a thin layer of dough and returned to the oven to finish. Just say yes. It will be delivered to the table piping hot, and the server will roll back the baked crust to release the heavenly scent of those Anatolian spices; use that crust to sop up every last bit of sauce.
