Steps
1 Done | Preparing raw vegetablesIn a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, chopped onion, sumac and sec, then set aside. |
2 Done | Preparing Tantuni meatIn a saucepan, sauté your beef strips in a little oil until brown. Add 2 teaspoons of sweet pepper (or paprika), salt, pepper and a little cumin, and mix well. Add the diced tomatoes and sauté for a further 5 minutes. |
3 Done | Preparing Tantuni (with wrap, durum or lavash)Once your beef is cooked through, take a patty (either a wrap, durum or lavash bread) and place it on top of the meat so that the bread absorbs the Tantuni's juices. Your bread should then have a lovely reddish color thanks to the sauce. Do the same for all your breads. If your preparation doesn't provide enough sauce for the bread, you can add a little oil and water and mix well. |
4 Done | Filling your TantuniTake your breads, soaked in Tantuni's sauce, and add 2-3 tablespoons of meat to the center of the bread. Add a few diced tomatoes. Mix your chopped onions with sumac in a bowl, then add some to the Tantuni. Then add the finely chopped parsley. |
5 Done | Rolling your tantuni turc with beefTo make a pretty Tantuni, roll the bread up on itself, pressing the ends together tightly. Don't forget to close the bottom of the wrap so that all the ingredients don't fall out! |
6 Done | Your homemade Tantuni turc is ready!And now you've made a delicious Turkish Tantuni at home. You can enjoy it for lunch, dinner or even as a snack. Bon appétit! :) |
