This is another Simple Savings gem. I’d heard good reviews of the recipe for gozleme for over a year, but never got around to making them tlll last week. I’ll make them again! Easy and YUM! Here’s our adaptation:

400g plain yoghurt

pinch salt

500g wholemeal flour + 2 tsp baking powder

200g spinach leaves from garden, chopped finely

500g cottage cheese (ricotta wasn’t delivered in my order)

herb salt & fresh ground pepper

olive oil

lemon wedges to serve

Beat the yoghurt and salt with a spoon in a large bowl until smooth. Add the flour and stir with a butter knife until you have a stiff dough. Knead by hand on a lightly floured surface, incorporating any remaining flour until the dough is soft and slightly sticky. Put into a clean bowl, cover and stand for 30 minutes.

Divide dough into eight pieces. Roll each piece into a 20cm diameter circle.

Place spinach and cottage cheese over half the circle and season. Fold dough over to form half-circles. Seal edges with a fork. Repeat with remaining dough and ingredients.

Preheat heavy-based pan and brush gozleme with olive oil. Cook until side is golden. Repeat for the other side. Serve with wedges of lemon and side salad.
