Gozleme is a Turkish flatbread street food, made with full-flavoured lamb, spinach and fetta, plus healthy lashings of olive oil. Do it like they do in Turkey and don’t forget the squeeze of lemon!

Ingredients

Gozleme
Lamb filling
Spinach and cheese filling

Method

Gozleme

1.

Combine flour and salt in large bowl. Gradually stir in the water; mix to a soft dough. Knead dough on floured surface about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Return to bowl; cover.

2.

Make lamb filling. Heat oil in large frying pan; cook garlic and spices until fragrant. Add lamb; cook, stirring, until browned. Add undrained tomatoes; simmer about 15 minutes or until liquid is almost evaporated. Stir in parsley.

3.

Make spinach and cheese filling. Combine ingredients in medium bowl.

4.

Divide dough into six portions; roll each portion on floured surface into 30cm (12-inch) square. Spoon spinach and cheese filling onto dough squares, spreading filling across centre of squares; top each with equal amounts of lamb filling. Fold top and bottom edges of dough over filling; tuck in ends to enclose.

5.

Cook gözleme, both sides, over low heat on oiled grill plate, brushing with oil, until browned lightly and heated through.

Try cooking these in a sandwich press ­- it works beautifully.
