WHAT'S TANTUNI?
BY TUGBA
It is a traditional Turkish street-food originating from the city of Mersin,situated on the Mediterranean coast of Southern Turkey (more on Mersin). Contrary to popular belief, Tantuni Rolls in Turkey are more popular than the Döner Kebabs. Traditionally, thinly diced Beef is cooked with Turkish spices in special Tantuni pans (above right) and then served in special durum wrap rolls called Lavaş/Lavash (above left).
