Recipe Credit: Grains & Legumes Nutrition Council
Ingredients
Filling
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, minced
2 small onions, chopped
500 g chicken mince (could also use beef or pork)
1 tbsp cumin powder
1 tbsp coriander powder
1 ½ tsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper, optional
2 medium sized tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 large bag spinach
1 block feta cheese
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Dough
75 g lupin flakes
300 g plain yoghurt
¼ tsp salt
150 g wholemeal self-raising flour
150 g self-raising flour
Directions
1Heat the olive oil and quickly fry off garlic in a hot saucepan until softened.
2Add the mince and brown, breaking apart as it cooks.
3Once browned, add cumin, coriander, paprika and cayenne (if using).
4Add the tomato and cook further until softened.
5Add half the spinach to the mixture until wilted, then turn off the heat and set mixture aside to cool.
6While mixture is cooling, make the dough. First, mix the lupin flakes, yoghurt and salt until well-combined.
7Slowly add the flours and mix with a butter knife until a dough is formed.
8Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes, form a ball and place in a bowl before covering and setting aside for 30 minutes (dough will expand so leave enough room).
9When ready to make gozlemes, cut the dough into 5 equal portions. Take one portion of the dough and use a rolling pin on a floured surface to roll out into a square or rectangle shape.
10Spoon mixture onto half of the surface (leaving room on the edges), top with half a handful of spinach and a crumbling of feta.
11Fold the empty half over the filled half and press edges together. If it doesn’t stick, pat water on the edge of the dough to aid sticking.
12When ready to cook, heat a flat sandwich press or frying pan and spray oil on the bottom of the press or pan. Place gozlemes in one at a time and spray the top, gently closing the lid.
13If using a pan, flip the gozlemes once crisp and golden on one side.
14Cook until dough is crisp and golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges and a side salad.
