How To Make gozleme - spiced lamb & feta
-
1For the dough, mix the yeast, sugar and 175ml lukewarm water in a small bowl; stir to dissolve the yeast, then set aside for 10 min or until liquid starts to froth.
-
2In a big bowl, mix the flour with ½ tsp salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeasty mixture and olive oil, and mix until you have a soft dough.
-
3Knead for 10 minutes, then put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with oiled cling film. Place somewhere warm until doubled in size.
-
4Filling: Heat the oil in a frying pan, add the mince and fry, breaking up lumps as you go, until well browned.
-
5Stir in the garlic, spices and raisins, and fry for a few more minutes, then turn off the heat and stir in the lemon zest, spring onions, pine nuts and seasoning, set aside to cool.
-
6Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured surface to 25 x 30cm, without the dough splitting.
-
7With a long edge of the pastry laying in front of you, spoon ¼ of the mince on the bottom half – leaving a 2cm border all round.
-
8Crumble over ¼ of the feta, then fold the other half of the dough over the filling, folding in and pinching the edges to seal in the lamb. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
-
9Heat a large frying pan over a high heat and brush the Gozleme all over with oil.
-
10Cook in batches for 3-5 mins on each side, or until golden and heated through.
-
11Sauce: Quickly mix the tomato ketchup, pomegranate and onion, and serve with the hot, crispy Gozleme.
