I tried this Turkish recipe. Not sure why it came up in my YouTube feed but looks like it was there for a reason :) We ate it with hot sauce and ketchup - it was very delicious! What I liked about it - didn't take too long to make it and is not deep fried (although it does have cheese).
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
For the dough
160g all purpose flour
80ml water
Salt to taste
For the filling
1 bunch Spinach
1/2 cup chopped Onion
1/2-3/4 cup Feta cheese
1-2 tsp oil
Salt to taste
Method
- Mix the flour, salt and water; and knead. After the dough had come together, knead for another 5 minutes. The dough will be smooth and springy.
- Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a pan. Sauté the onion till translucent.
- Add the spinach and salt; and cook till wilted; and the filling is not too wet.
- Cool the filling.
- In the meantime, let's make the outer wrap.
- Divide the dough into 4. Take each portion and form a ball out of it.
- Roll it out to around 10" - the wrap will be almost translucent. You will almost be able to see the surface below the wrap.
- Put some of the prepared filling on the wrap. Add feta cheese. Wrap it up like a parcel.
- Heat a griddle on medium heat. Cook the wrap on one side. Then flip and cook on the other side.
Of course I haven't tasted the real dish but was very happy how this turned out. The original recipe calls out brushing the wrap with butter after cooking it. We liked it without butter,
