Remove the nerves and fat, cut the meat into cubes, and mince with a meat cleaver. Put the meat in a pot and boil it by adding a little water.
Heat the pan on the stove and grease it with a little oil. Put the meat on one corner of the pan. Roast it by pulling it to the center little by little with a wooden spatula.
Drizzle a little oil over it. Sprinkle red pepper powder and salt, and mix.
For the garnish, clean and chop the parsley. Peel the tomato and cut it into cubes. Clean and chop up the onion. Add the sumac to the onion and mix in a bowl.

Expert Tips

Using aged meat will increase the flavor of the meat.
Make sure that the meat you will use is well-shredded. Be sure to cut the big pieces into small pieces.
While preparing the tantuni, you can pour water on the pan from time to time. This prevents the sheet from getting too hot and allows the bread to moisten more easily.
Press the bread or lavash you will use in the recipe onto the pan. Thus, you can ensure that it absorbs the sauce.
Enrich the spices you will use according to your taste. You can squeeze a lemon into the lavash during service.
