Tantuni
Tantuni is a spicy dürüm consisting of julienne cut beef or sometimes lamb stir-fried on a sac with a hint of cotton oil. It is a specialty of the city of Mersin, Turkey.[1]
Tantuni
The meat in tantuni is first crushed and boiled in salted water, then fried in cotton oil. Afterwards meat is wrapped with lavaş bread together with chopped onions, chopped, preferably skinless tomato slices, green peppers and parsley. The resulting mass is seasoned with pepper, salt and possibly other spices, and served wrapped in lavaş bread.
Popular Culture
With the recent trend in fast-food, Tantuni has become a healthier and more traditional alternative to other similar foods such as hamburger and pizza. It's usually served with ayran and pickled pepper.
