👨🍳 Инструкции
- 1
Prepare the Qurut Yogurt Base: If using qurut balls, place them in a bowl and pour warm water over them. Stir occasionally until they dissolve into a smooth, thick, tangy sauce. If using plain yogurt, mix it with a pinch of salt and thin with a little water to achieve a runny consistency similar to thick yogurt.
💡 Профессиональные советы: Ensure the qurut is fully dissolved for a smooth sauce. - 2
Fry the Onions: Heat vegetable oil or butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until they are golden brown and slightly crispy. Season with a pinch of salt.

Prepare the Bread: Tear the fatir bread (or lavash/pita) into bite-sized pieces. Place these pieces in a large, shallow serving dish (traditionally a wooden 'tabaq').
💡 Профессиональные советы: The bread should be torn, not cut, to create a rustic texture. - 4

Add Toppings: Top the soaked bread with the sautéed onions. If using, arrange the optional sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, or pieces of cooked meat over the onions. Sprinkle generously with chopped fresh herbs.
