Armenian lavash with cheese and greens. Recipes for making pita bread with cheese and herbs for a hearty snack

If you are looking for a recipe for a pita roll that will not add extra centimeters to your waist, then pita bread with herbs and brynza cheese will come in handy. Delicious rolls stuffed with feta cheese, cucumber, sour cream and herbs are suitable not only as a picnic snack for barbecues, but also as a snack for the holidays.

Oh, sorry, I did find one flaw. The fact is that such pita bread is eaten too quickly - so you need to be ready for this and cook more rolls with cheese and cucumber. But you can put up with this shortcoming, right?

Ingredients:

1 small bunch of dill;
3 art. l. sour cream with a fat content of 15-20%;
1 clove of garlic;
40-50 g of cheese of medium salinity;
1 small cucumber;
1 sheet of thin pita bread measuring 20x40 cm.

Cooking:

We need exactly rectangular pita bread - it is easier to wrap it in a roll than square and, moreover, oval. If you bought a square pita. Just cut it into 2 rectangles.

Three cheese on a grater: small, medium or large - it depends only on your desire. The smaller the pieces of feta cheese, the more homogeneous the sour cream mass with it will be, the larger it is, the brighter the taste of feta cheese in pita bread will be. Delicious in both the first and second case.

Wash dill, dry and finely chop.

Pass the garlic through a garlic press.

Put sour cream in a deep plate or bowl.

Add garlic, dill and cheese to sour cream.

We mix everything thoroughly. The resulting mass should not be too liquid, but not very dry - so that it can be easily spread on pita bread.

We apply sour cream with feta cheese on the surface of the pita bread, using the back of a spoon, distribute it over the entire area.

Now it's time for the cucumber. Three it on a coarse grater. Now it should be exactly a large grater, and not a medium or small one: the cucumber releases juice strongly, so it should not be crushed too much. Be sure to try the cucumber - if its skin is bitter. If so, then it will need to be cut off before rubbing the cucumber.

We spread the cucumber after sour cream with cheese.

We turn the pita bread into a fairly tight roll.

Wrap the roll of pita bread in foil and send it to the refrigerator for 1 hour. Unlike most pita rolls, this one should not be kept in the refrigerator for a long time and prepared in advance - the cucumber releases juice a lot, the pita bread can turn out to be too wet and lose its shape.

Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, salty and fragrant with greens Lavash rolls with cottage cheese and cheese filling- a simple and tasty breakfast, which can be prepared with children.

Moreover, since all the ingredients can be safely tasted - since they are initially completely ready for use, the child himself during the cooking process can check and adjust the filling for salt, taste and the proportions of the ingredients.

At the same time, such tubes can be a good beer snack, so it is not at all necessary to consider that this is an exclusively children's dish, not at all.

Cooking pita bread rolls with cottage cheese and cheese filling.

Cheese for this dish is better to take lightly salted. If the cheese is completely salty, then it can be soaked in water or milk - put in enameled, glass or ceramic dishes in one piece and pour slightly warm boiled water or milk for several hours.

Finely chop the dill and parsley.

We chop the green onion.

If there is a desire to add any other green ingredients, chop them finely enough.

I like to add beet leaves to such fillings, in this case without the stems, as opposed to cooking the same, where the stems can also be used.

Beet tops will give a light taste to the filling, which is very appropriate in this dish.

Finely chop the garlic. In this case, it is better not to use a garlic press, as excess bitterness from crushed garlic will be added.

We rub the cheese on a coarse grater.

Instead of cheese, you can safely take cheese, such as Suluguni or Adyghe. Although cheese is still preferable, since the filling with it turns out to be lighter than with cheese, which, when melted, will bind the curd and at the same time, the melted cheese may begin to flow out of the ends of the tubes.

As an alternative, then, you can roll the pita bread into an envelope, and you can also experiment endlessly with the fillings for it. , again, is an excellent breakfast.

And if there is no cheese or ordinary cheese, but there is feta, then you can do it, but in this case, frying is not required.

We spread the cottage cheese, feta cheese, chopped herbs and garlic in a suitable bowl. Sprinkle with black pepper to taste.

Next, knead the filling so that all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the volume. It is best to stir with a fork. This is best done by adults, since the filling is quite dense and the child may not have enough strength to knead the cottage cheese and stir the filling.

But the child can try the stirred filling and, according to his taste, add the missing ingredients, such as salt or add herbs, or, conversely, if the filling is too salty, then add cottage cheese.

It remains a small matter.

Cut a sheet of pita bread into squares, the size of a CD box. It is convenient to cut with scissors - it turns out quickly and accurately.

On the edge of the sheet lay out a strip of filling about 2-2.5 cm thick.

The filling does not reach the side edges by about 1 cm. We form the filling so that it is the same in thickness and height. The stuffing is dense and holds its shape well.

Next, wrap the filling in pita bread in the form of a tube. In order for the pita bread to keep its shape well and the filling does not break through the sheet during cooking, the outer layer of pita bread should be at least double, so you don’t need to get too carried away with the amount of filling.

So we prepare all the tubes for which there is enough filling or pita bread.

From this amount of ingredients, my daughter and I got 11 tubes.

Heat the butter in a wide skillet until it starts to boil. We make the fire medium, even slightly below average, so that the pita bread does not burn, but simply calmly roasts, warming the filling inside.

Then we put the prepared tubes into the pan with the seam down, so that the pita bread in this place is fried, becomes crispy and thereby fixes its shape. Accordingly, the tubes will not begin to unfold on their own.

Fry the pita tubes for 2-4 minutes, depending on the stove, on all sides.

As soon as the tubes are fried, put them out of the pan on a dish and serve.

This dish performs well both hot and cold, so for the same party when Lavash rolls with stuffing will be used as a snack, they can be prepared in advance.

Lavash rolls are a wonderful snack! They are always prepared quickly and simply, but you can experiment with fillings to your heart's content! At the same time, the most favorite ingredients are used, starting with cheese and ending with chicken and. Any salad, in fact, can be wrapped in pita bread - you just need to think about the format of cutting products for the filling and the number of layers. I often cook these rolls. Every time trying to try some new options. But still there are a few basic recipes that are invariably very popular with my guests and household members. One of them is lavash roll with cheese and cucumber. According to this photo recipe, it turns out to be very juicy, very light and somehow fresh in spring! Want details?

Ingredients:
- 100 g of cheese;
- 2 tbsp. l. sour cream;
- dill greens;
- salt to taste;
- 0.5 medium cucumber;
- thin pita.

How to cook with a photo step by step

We will need a thin pita bread, it is also called Armenian. Nowadays, it is sold in most grocery stores. There are two types of pita bread: oval and rectangular. They do not differ in taste, but for pita bread it is most convenient. of course, pita-rectangle. If you bought an oval pita bread, don't be discouraged - you can simply cut off the rounded edges with kitchen scissors - and you will still have the same rectangle.

The main ingredient of the filling for lavash: feta cheese is certainly fresh and fragrant. Be sure to try it - so that there is no unpleasant sourness. Otherwise, you risk spoiling the taste of the future pita bread completely and irrevocably.

Three cheese on a fine or medium grater.

Washed and dried dill finely chopped.

We add sour cream to the cheese - also fresh and without sourness. The fat content of sour cream does not matter much. Add dill to cheese and sour cream.

We mix the cheese, dill and sour cream (it is most convenient to do this with a fork). You should get a relatively homogeneous mass, not dry, but not very liquid either - remember that this is still a filling for pita bread. If you are not sure about the proportions (you don’t have very dry feta cheese, for example, or not fat sour cream), then I advise you to add sour cream to the feta cheese in small portions, mix and check if this amount is enough. If necessary, salt the mass.

We apply a mass of cheese and sour cream on a sheet of pita bread. At the same time, we retreat a little along the edges - when we wrap the roll, the filling will have room to move.

Three cucumbers on a coarse grater. Squeeze lightly to remove excess cucumber juice.

And then spread the grated cucumber on the pita bread, on top of the cheese.

We wrap the pita in a tight roll. It is necessary to give such a roll a little "brew". Therefore, we hide it in a plastic bag or pack it in foil or cling film and send it to the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes.

Then we take out the roll and cut it into rings about 1 cm thick. You should not cut the pita bread into thinner pieces - the filling in it is quite tender, it can just fall out. Then the appetizer will lose its attractiveness.

Such a pita roll is perfect for both meat and fish dishes, you can cook it on weekdays and on holidays, and it will also be good for outings into nature.

Tips & Tricks:
I usually buy thin pita bread in the store. But if you wish, you can cook it at home yourself. Of course, it will take some time, but what a delicious one you will get!

Other pickled cheeses will also be good in this pita bread, and not just feta cheese. I'm sure if you cook such a roll with feta, for example, there will be plenty of people who want to try it!
Be sure to try the cheese mass before sending it to pita bread. The fact is that feta cheese can be both low-salted and heavily salted. So make sure your stuffing is the right one.

Cooking Tricks

Most often, pita bread with cheese and herbs is served immediately after cooking. Of course, it is incredibly difficult to resist such an appetizer! But you can serve immediately only if you smeared the base with some kind of sauce, and it has already become soft by the time it is wrapped.

If there was no sauce, then everything will be dry and not as tasty as it could be. Therefore, it is recommended to wrap the roll in a film and put it in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes. This time will be enough to soak well.

The greased roll must be served immediately, otherwise after a few minutes your appetizer will get wet and turn into porridge.

Hot rolls (from the grill, oven or pan) are also best served immediately. They will be crispy while warm, and then cool and will not differ in any way from the "raw" options.

It will be very tasty if some kind of sauce is served with the finished pita bread. It can be tomato, cheese or based on cream, yogurt, sour cream. Imagine how appetizing and fragrant it is if you add fresh cucumber, garlic, dill and a little salt to yogurt. Take a risk, you won't regret it!
