Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 500 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 300 milliliters of water while mixing, until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it with a clean cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
Step 2
While the dough is resting, rinse and chop the spinach, sorrel, green onions, dill, and parsley into small pieces. In a skillet, heat 50 milliliters of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped greens to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes until wilted. Season with salt to taste and mix well. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 3
After the dough has rested, divide it into 20 equal pieces. Roll out each piece into a thin circle, about 28 centimeters (11 inches) in diameter.
Place a generous amount of the filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing down firmly.
Step 4
Heat a griddle or large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each qutab for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crisp.
As soon as they are cooked, brush each qutab with 70 grams of melted butter to enhance flavor and keep them moist.
Step 5
Serve the qutabs warm as an appetizer or a light meal. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce or yogurt for a delightful experience!
Servings
- Herb Dips: Pair your Qutabs with yogurt or tahini sauce for a creamy and delicious dip. The coolness of the dip beautifully contrasts the warm, savory pastries!
- Fresh Salad: A crunchy cucumber and tomato salad is a refreshing addition. The freshness will brighten the flavors of the Qutabs. 🥒🍅
- Pickled Vegetables: Add a touch of tanginess with some homemade pickles. The acidity cuts through the richness and balances the meal perfectly.
Perfect for appetizers, lunch, or just a special treat, these Qutabs make any gathering feel like a celebration. 🥳 Don’t forget to sprinkle some extra herbs on top before serving for that “wow” factor!
Equipment
A sturdy bowl is essential for mixing your dough and filling. Avoid using plastic bowls as they can retain odors.

Variations
If you're seeking to make this dish cater to different diets, here are some great variations:
- Gluten-Free: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend designed for baking. Add a bit of xanthan gum for better texture! 🌾❌
- Vegan: For a vegan twist, simply replace the butter with olive oil and omit any dairy products. A splash of lemon juice can boost flavor and freshness! 🍋🌱
Faq
- How do I know when my dough is ready?
The dough should be smooth and elastic. If it's too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour as you knead.
- Can I prepare the filling in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Just make sure to let it come to room temperature before using it.
- What's the best way to store leftover Qutabs?
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat them on a skillet to bring back the crunch!
- Can I freeze Qutabs?
Yes, these pastries freeze beautifully! Wrap them in plastic wrap and store in an airtight bag. When ready to enjoy, bake from frozen or reheat in a skillet.
- How do I achieve a crispy crust?
Make sure to use a hot pan and cook them until golden brown on both sides. Using a little extra oil while cooking can also help achieve that perfect crisp!
- What's a good alternative to spinach?
If you want to change it up, consider using Swiss chard or kale for a different twist, or even a mix of both!
