Cooking method

Cooking time: 1 h 30 min

1. Chicken fillet is washed under running water, dried with paper towels. Then cut as small as possible. If mutton is used, we do the same with it.

2. We put the meat in a saucepan, pour water so that it covers the chicken by about one centimeter, no more. We send the pan to the fire, cook for about half an hour from the moment of boiling, until the meat is fully cooked.

3. Meanwhile, tomatoes are washed, dried, cut out the attachment points of the peduncle, cut into small cubes. Onions are also peeled from the husk, cut into cubes finely. The greens are washed under running water, dried, crushed with a sharp knife.

4. After the specified time, we drain the water from the chicken, it is most convenient to throw the meat on a sieve, since the pieces are small. Let the liquid drain completely.

5. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan with a thick bottom, send it to the fire. When the oil warms up enough, spread the chicken meat, fry until golden on maximum heat, while stirring quickly.

6. Then add the prepared onions to the chicken, continue to fry for about two to three minutes, then add the tomatoes. We continue to fry, stirring, and when the liquid has completely evaporated, add the herbs, salt and pepper to taste.

7. We spread the hot filling on one edge of the pita bread and roll it into a tight roll without bending the edges.

We serve tantuni hot on the table, very tasty with fresh or salted vegetables, as well as with herbs.

Eat with pleasure, treat your family and friends. Bon appetit!
