Instructions
Stage 1: Prepare the goyerti filling
- Wash your herbs thoroughly, then dry them well.
- Chop your herbs finely, but be careful not to mash them.
- In a mixing bowl, mix together one beaten egg, 2 teaspoons of yogurt, your chopped onions, chopped spinach, sorrel, and chopped herbs.
Stage 2: Prepare the Kutab dough
- Mix your wheat flour, egg, salt, yogurt, and water in a mixing bowl until a ball of dough form.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions, about 100 grams each.
- Flatten each ball of dough into a circle about 3mm thick using a rolling pin.
Stage 3: Construct your kutab
- Spread the lavashana on top of each piece of flattened kutab dough.
- On top of the lavashana, spread some of the herb mixture on one half of the kutab.
- Finally, fold the non-covered half of the kutab over the filling, forming a semi-circle.
Stage 4: Toast the kutabs
- Toast each kutab in a non-stick skillet over high heat for 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once they’re done, take your cooked kutabs off the skillet and brush them with melted butter or ghee for serving.
- Serve yogurt on the side.
Notes
- Dust your working counter with flour to keep the dough from sticking.
- Do not oil the skillet when toasting the kutabs.
- Pomegranate molasses with a bit of lemon juice can be used if lavashana is unavailable.
