Tantuni

Tantuni is a spicy lavash wrap consisting of julienne beef or sometimes lamb stir-fried in a sac with a hint of cotton oil. It is a specialty of the city of Mersin, Turkey.

The meat in tantuni is first crushed and boiled in salted water, then fried in vegetable oil together with such ingredients as 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 lavash bread.
