🫓 Mercimekli gözleme (Turkish lentil flatbread)

4 gözleme · prep 30 min + 20 min de repos · cook 20 min

Ingredients

• 420 g flour
• 300 ml lukewarm water
• 1 tbsp oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 200 g green lentils
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
• 3 tbsp chopped parsley
• Salt, pepper

Method

1. Tip the flour into a large bowl, make a well and add the oil, salt and lukewarm water.
2. Knead for about ten minutes until you have a soft dough that no longer sticks to your hands, then cover and rest 20 min.
3. Simmer the green lentils in boiling water until thoroughly tender, then drain them.
4. Crush them roughly with the back of a wooden spoon: the filling should hold together without becoming a purée.
5. Soften the onions in the oil, add the tomato paste, paprika and chilli flakes, then the lentils, salt and pepper. Let it cool before filling, or the dough will tear.
6. Stir the parsley into the cooled filling.
7. Divide the dough into 4, roll each ball out as thinly as you can into a large disc, spread the filling over one half and fold it over.
8. Cook dry on a hot griddle, 2 to 3 min each side, until golden patches appear. Brush with melted butter and serve at once.
