Preparation
Step 1
Take thin rectangular lavash (2-3 sheets). If dry, sprinkle with water to soften. I used pork mince, but you can use pork+beef mix or chicken.
Step 2
Peel and wash onion. Chop finely. Heat refined vegetable oil in a skillet. Fry onion over low heat until golden, stirring constantly.
Step 3
Add minced meat to the skillet. Break up clumps with a fork. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer under lid for ~15 minutes. Transfer cooked meat to a plate and let cool.
Step 4
Grate hard cheese using a medium grater. Any high-quality cheese that melts well works. Hard cheese can be replaced with non-salty mozzarella.
Step 5
Wash and dry parsley leaves, chop finely. Fresh dill can be used instead.
Step 6
Mix grated cheese and chopped herbs into cooled minced meat.
Step 7
Cut lavash sheet in half (or into four pieces for smaller rolls).
Step 8
Place 1-2 tbsp filling on a strip of lavash.
Step 9
Fold into a small parcel: fold sides first, then roll from the bottom twice.
Step 10
Repeat with remaining strips. You can also fold into squares or triangles if using round lavash.
Step 11
Line a baking tray with parchment. Arrange parcels. Beat one egg in a small bowl, brush the tops with a silicone brush. Bake in a preheated 180°C (356°F) oven for ~20 minutes. Oven times may vary. Remove when lavash turns golden.
Step 12
Serve warm with salads, pickles, or fresh vegetables. Leftovers can be reheated in a microwave or oven the next day without losing taste. Enjoy!
