Ingredients

Vegetable Ingredients

400 grams (14 oz) mushrooms (champignons)
1 onion (50-80 grams, about 2-3 oz)
40 grams (1.4 oz) fresh dill, parsley, and green onion combined

Dairy and Eggs

350 grams (12 oz) cottage cheese
500 grams (17.5 oz) kefir
5 eggs

Wrap and Seasoning

300 grams (10.5 oz) lavash bread
Salt and black pepper to taste
5 grams (0.2 oz) ghee or a little oil for greasing the baking dish

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Vegetables

Begin by cleaning the mushrooms and onion. Chop them into small cubes.

Next, rinse the greens thoroughly and dry them. Finely chop the greens to add fresh flavor to the dish.

Step 2

Sauté the Mushrooms

In a dry pan, sauté the mushrooms until all moisture evaporates. This step is crucial as it enhances the flavor of the mushrooms.

Once the moisture is gone, add the ghee (or any oil of your choice) and chopped onions. Cook together until the onions are soft and slightly golden. After cooking, turn off the heat and let it cool.

Step 3

Mix the Filling

In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and kefir. Blend until you achieve a smooth mixture.

To this mixture, add the sautéed mushrooms and onions, chopped greens, salt, and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.

Step 4

Prepare the Baking Dish

Take a baking dish and grease it with a little ghee.

Layer the lavash bread in the dish, folding it in an accordion style, to create texture.

Step 5

Assemble the Casserole

Pour the prepared filling over the layered lavash, ensuring it seeps into the folds. This will help distribute the flavor throughout the casserole.

Step 6

Bake the Casserole

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the casserole for 45 minutes uncovered.

After this time, cover the dish with foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes. This method ensures a nice golden color without over drying.

Step 7

Cool and Serve

Once baked, turn off the oven and remove the foil. Leave the casserole to cool inside the oven with the door slightly ajar. This will help the casserole set properly.

It can be enjoyed warm or cold, and it will be delicious no matter how you serve it!

Faq

  • How do I know when the Lavash is done baking?

    It should be golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

  • Can I add other vegetables to the filling?

    Absolutely! Try adding bell peppers or spinach for more flavor and nutrition.

  • What if my mixture seems too runny?

    If it's too runny, try adding a little more cottage cheese to thicken it up. It should be pourable, but not too watery.

  • How do I store leftovers properly?

    Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best results!
