How to Make Mersin Style Tantuni Recipe?

• First of all, let's chop our meat into 1/4th of a small cube and boil it first. We should definitely pour out the water we started with and not use it.
• Boil the meat until it becomes very soft. Since I used beef, I boiled it in a pressure cooker. To cook faster...
• While our meat is starting, let's cut the tomatoes into cubes and put them on a plate. Let's put our boiled meat into the pan, but do not fill the pan too much, you can add the meat to the pan as you serve.
• Tantuni is made with cottonseed oil in Mersin, but we use olive oil when it is made at home. Let's drizzle plenty of olive oil and fry it a little.
• While roasting, be sure to add 1-2 tablespoons of water to prevent the meat from drying out. Let's add 1 teaspoon each of the spices, mix them, add a small amount of salt, and then dip the bread we cut into the oil in the pan.
• Let's put the meat first, then the onion, then the tomato, and sprinkle a pinch of salt. Let's have hot pickles, buttermilk or turnips with it. Enjoy your meal.
