Chop the pulp, finely chop the onion and garlic, pour boiling water over the raisins and leave for 7-8 minutes, then drain. In vegetable oil in a frying pan, fry the onion until transparent, add the garlic, then the minced meat and fry until tender, breaking up the meat lumps.

Lavash roll with tuna, apple and pepper

 

Lubricate pita bread with a thin layer of mayonnaise. Drain the canned tuna in a sieve to drain the juice or oil. Grind a bunch of your favorite greens, cut the bell pepper and sour apple into a small cube. It is better to lightly fry an apple with pepper; instead of fresh pepper, you can use canned baked one. Mix all the elements of the filling in a bowl with a spoonful of mayonnaise and spread over the pita bread. Roll tightly into a roll, wrap with cling film and refrigerate until required.

600 g chicken fillet cut into large pieces. Soak the skewers in water, apple juice or white wine for a couple of hours while the meat marinates.

After two hours, cut the apples into the same pieces as you cut the chicken. Alternating, string on skewers and bake in the oven (190 degrees, 20 minutes), on the grill or in a pan until cooked.
