Why do we love thin pita bread? for its versatility!
You can make a poppy filling and roll it into pita bread, and then bake it a little - you get a dessert. You can trim the salad, add chicken - and now the roll is ready. Well, or almost a shawarma. Lavash is smeared with cream cheese and red fish is added, lavash is soaked in sauces and meat is wrapped in them.
Not directly a product, but a stimulus for creativity.
Or you can cook a dish from your own lavash that refers to Mexican cuisine - to stuffed baked enchilados. It turns out delicious, by the way. Very tasty!
We take:
- Lavash itself - several sheets;
- 400 grams of grated hard cheese;
- A couple of onions;
- A couple of sweet peppers (you can use different colors for beauty);
- 500 grams of tomatoes;
- A couple of cloves of garlic;
- Chili pepper (one or two - to your taste);
- Sour cream - three or four hundred grams (not very sour!);
- Pepper, salt, sugar, lemons, juice - to taste, for acidizing the sauce.
How do we cook
First of all, we cut the lavash into pieces, given the size of the rolls we will have. Someone cuts the leaf into three parts, someone into two, and someone into four. But it also depends on the size of the thin pita bread.
Cut the onion into small cubes, sweet peppers into larger cubes and fry in a pan for about 10 minutes.
Fried?
Then we make the sauce. We clean the chili from the core and partitions, chop finely. blanch the tomatoes, peel and chop into cubes. Peel the garlic and chop it too.
Now we put all this in a saucepan, add three or four spoons of sweet pepper fried with onions there, cook for fifteen minutes. At the very end, salt the sauce, season and straighten the taste with sugar and lemon juice - so that the sauce does not seem too sour to you.
Now mix the grated cheese with the peppers that have cooled down and fried with onions, not forgetting to leave a little cheese on the sprinkle. Add sour cream there and mix. I specifically did not immediately write how much sour cream - the filling should not turn out to be liquid. That is, if the sour cream itself is liquid, it may be needed much less. We try, if necessary, add some salt.
put the filling on each piece, roll it up. You can roll it, you can wrap it like a pancake, then as you like.
Now we take the form, pour a little sauce on the bottom, put the rolls into it with a seam at the bottom, pour the sauce on top, sprinkle with grated cheese, and send it to the oven at 180 degrees for twenty minutes.
