As a matter of fact, there is no meat in the original meal of tirit. Obviously, since the Konya region loves meat dishes, they discovered a wonderful flavor by combining this dish with meat. Konya Tiridi may remind you of İskender at first glance, but it is really surprising that such a different flavor can be obtained with similar ingredients.
Materials of Konya Tiridi;
- 500 grams of lamb
- 500 grams of yogurt
- 2 onions
- 1 bunch of parsley
- 1 toasted bread
- 2 spoonful butter
- 2 bay leaves
- 4-5 cloves of garlic
- Salt
- Black pepper
Preparation of Konya Tiridi;
- Put the diced meat in a pot and fry it until the meat is tender.
- After the broth is absorbed, add enough hot water and cumin to cover it by two fingers.
- Cook the meat thoroughly in the pan.
- Slice stale bread, harden slightly in the oven and cut into 2 cm squares and place on a serving plate.
- Add the butter, salt and pepper to the pot 10 minutes before removing the boiled meat from the fire.
- After 10 minutes, remove the pot from the heat. Pour over the bread with the broth.
- Rub the chopped onions with salt and remove the bitterness.
- Prepare the garlic yogurt in a separate bowl.
- Spread the prepared garlic yogurt on the meat. Then put the onions on it.
