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.
