Turkish Wrap “Tantuni” With Ground Beef & Lavash Bread Recipe

Byamazingfoodstv


Make Turkish style meat wrap “Tantuni” with minced meat. It is popular street food in Istanbul and all of Turkey but the recipe known from Mersin City on the coast of the Mediterranean. I am also going to show you how to make Turkish flatbread lavash too.
Here is the written recipe on my website:
Traditionally Tantuni is made from a steak or tender beef and doesn’t have peppers. But in this home version, I used ground beef for making it easy and lox budget and some veggies to give extra juice and taste.
Ingredients For Tantuni, Turkish Meat wrap:
500gr. minced meat (preferable fatty or a mix of beef and lamb if you like)
4-5 tbsp olive oil
1 onion
1 sweet red pepper
3 sweet or mild hot green peppers
1 big ripened tomato
If your meat doesn’t have much fat, you can add 1-2 tbsp butter
salt, red pepper flakes, ground red pepper, cumin (about a tsp each or as desired)
about 4-6 tbsp water
For the Lavash Flatbread:
1 cup lukewarm water
3-4 tbsp milk
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp active dry yeast
about 3 cups or little more flour (don’t add all at once)
1 tsp salt
a rolling pin
griddle or big nonstick wide pan to cook
more flour to dust
For Assembling The Wrap:
1 red onion
1/2 tsp salt and sumac (sumac optional)
preferably 1/4 crisp iceberg lettuce or regular lettuce, thinly sliced
thinly sliced tomato
thinly sliced pickles

“Story of the Word Tantuni”
According to the story, a Yoruk (A nomadic man) boils the meat to preserve it longer, sets up his counter, and puts a stove near a school. his purpose is to roast boiled meat in oil and sell it to students. He also adds Tomato, parsley, and onion to the wrap. Students ask the man who made this food, which has no name yet, “you hit the spoon every time and make a sound “tan tun” what are you selling?”
This reflection sound of the spoon, the sound of “tan tun”, inspires the man and gives the answer AS “tantuni”.

  3. I am very grateful to you for showing us how to make this delicious Turkish dish. I like that you told the story of where the name "Tantuni" came from and also that you made this with minced beef as it is a cheaper way for people to do this. You also sound like you have an Aussie accent which makes me happy. I apologise if I am wrong. Where would we all be without these fantastic dishes that people are sharing. Great food is what always brings people together, no matter where, and I thank you!!
    Teşekkür ederim!

  28. Aysenur there is a wonderful fast way to remove a tomato skin, all you do is make a very small slit just in the skin (only a shallow slit) with a sharp knife put it in a bowl and cover it with boiling water let sit about a minute- remove and you will see how easy the skin peels off without damage to the fruit. Please do try it's so fast.👌🇿🇦
