Tortillas with spinach and Zatar
These scones I've eaten in Israel, and not just eating, but eating with pleasure. Well, I love middle Eastern cuisine, and all here! Later and my husband tasted them and loved) This recipe I got from my sister, the fate of abandoned at this hot spot. In General, the pellets should be fried in plenty of oil, but this trouble we can easily change. There are a few differences from the original, but all of my free variations close to our taste preferences and not to the detriment of health. I will talk about them at the end of the recipe, as always. Important! Pellet obligatory flavored with Eastern spice "za'atar", that defeats the purpose of a recipe, but a wonderful recipe which is on the Pillsbury Tatiana ( wowan5 ). This is eaten this way tested and approved by me, sister and brother-in-law, an Israelite).

Cooking

step-0
All the nuances will explain at the end of the recipe, even though it is simple to a disgrace. Dough. I have a yeast SAF Moment, dry, active. 2st. L. (no slides) of yeast, pour warm water. Add all ingredients for dough, knead, cover with film wrap and allow to rise. A lot of yeast, the dough will "grow" significantly very quickly. To press down it to shift in the package (oiled by hand) and put into the refrigerator until cooking. This photo has the dough rose 3 times for 40 minutes. Summer)
step-1
The spinach, chop roughly, add izmereny green onions and parsley, passed through press the garlic, add is eaten this way, pepper, and salt to taste, I suggest 1/4 tsp salt medium or coarse. Stir, pour in the oil, if you want to squeeze the juice of 1/4 lemon. I add the lemon only if available. The stuffing is ready!
step-2
Half of the dough spread on a dusting of flour on the table and give some more or less decent shape, for further cutting)
step-3
A convenient way to divide into 8-10 approximately equal parts.
step-4
Take a piece of dough, put a slice of flour, sticky on the top slice spread a full teaspoon of the filling and pressing lightly with a spoon to spread it over the dough.
step-5
To assemble and fasten edge along or across it does not matter. Caveat: I've never seen even two similar in the form of pellets, so that the experience here is about. As blindly for a few seconds - so good!
step-6
Crush on top of hand, strong, without any hesitation before the test. To stretch the cake on the table or on weight, anything as long as possible to flatten the dough. Caveat: not terrible if the workpiece to leak! Believe me, not torn tortillas, too, are extremely rare in everyday life, and almost always on one side of each of them filling in the open watching their eater.
step-7
Lubricate the top of the tortillas with oil using a brush and sprinkle a good pinch of zatara.
step-8
Preheat the frying pan (not nonstick) with 1-2st. l oil and put a tortilla. The fire is not below average! From fingers to try to stretch it for another as it is possible (and how you are not afraid of hot frying oils). You can not stretch, but the thinner the tortilla the more likely it is fried.
step-9
The pellet may angrily inflate the top bubbles - do not disturb, she is, Yes. Fry for about minutes until color changes, turn over and press with spatula for a few seconds, in order to reduce the appetite of bubbles to further growth. Also fry a minute before the yellowing. The finished cake to put on a paper towel. All! You can eat!
step-10
While baking one loaf it's time to pile next, add oil to the pan, and so on. Half of the test is obtained 8-10-12 pellets. It depends on what size your pan and what size would prefer a pellet on the table. You can cook smaller cakes and fry immediately for 2 things. The remaining dough I keep in the fridge or freeze. Filling, if left, also great stored in the fridge for several days without loss of taste. These pellets can be hot and cold. Very tasty to eat them with a salad of fresh vegetables and hummus, and we need nothing more! The Arabs often dip them in olive oil again, sprinkle with seetaram.
step-11
Now let's talk about flatbread with Zatar everything you know to do. They can be fried on a dry pan, but I such did not like. Dry pan dry pellet. You can (as expected) in a large amount of oil. In Israel, as cook and we still ate them, but not at home... at Home we love more for some reason) Cakes. You can give them a time for 10-15 minutes on the baking sheet and bake until it will turn brown in the oven. I don't bake, I fry, so quickly and to our taste and more tender and juicier cakes that is fried.
step-12
Filling. In General, if in the East, the spinach in the filling you need to grind with salt, squeeze, add the onion, lemon, sumac and oil. And is eaten this way mash with butter and smear paste on top of the cake. I like the option of toppings from sisters, which I share. And I find it easier and faster to apply oil with a brush and sprinkle with Zatar, than to smear a kind of porridge on a delicate yeast dough. Well, it's a matter of taste. But sumac yeah, it's delicious, if you have - add! Next. Onions can be used onions, very finely chopped. But now come across such instances thereof that do not have time to prepare for a couple of minutes frying, and all this tingling and upsetting. But if baking cakes in the oven - everything will be OK! In the filling you can add: mint leaves, olives and tomatoes. To be honest, but I have not tried. Us and so delicious. You can add hot pepper and herbs to taste. IMPORTANT! Sol stuffing should remember that he is eaten this way already contains a mixture of salt, so it can be easy to overdo it. But insufficiently filling should not be. Still, my sister before frying the bread oil, and just sprinkle the Zatar one side immediately after the turning, already in the pan. But my version is by the way wrongly received, it is approved and taken into use. Well, something like that. Again, I'm splitting hairs) Much has been written, you see... But I most often important nuances and variations, therefore, and paint for all. And it's actually easier these pellets either think of something difficult, in the presence of all test cases: 5 min the filling and 10-15 minutes frying! Well another 5 minutes to cook the mixture "is eaten this way" or "za'atar". All. Finish) If anyone is this recipe useful: Bon appetit! Well, make paste more pictures, no! Insert the title, nothing can be done)
