Spinach and feta gozleme

Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 384 g gluten free plain or all-purpose (plain) flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 60 ml extra virgin olive oil, plus more for cooking
  • 240 ml water (approximately), or more
  • 1/2 to 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Spinach and feta filling

  • 1 brown yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cups spinach or finely torn kale leaves, or a mix
  • 1/2 lemon
  • sea salt and black pepper
  • 1 block (170 to 200g / 6 to 7 ounces) feta, crumbled

Instructions

  • To make the dough, place the flour, salt, olive oil in a bowl. Add about 1/2 the water and stir to hydrate the flour, adding more water as needed, just until it comes together into a cohesive dough. It should not be overly sticky.
  • Place onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for a few minutes until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and leave for 30 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, add the spinach or kale leaves, onion, lemon juice and season with a pinch each of sea salt and black pepper. Add the feta and massage it into the leaves and onion, combining well. Taste and make sure you’re happy with the seasoning.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into an 7 to 8 inch circle (bigger or smaller is okay too). Place a big mound of the filling onto one side, and fold the dough over, pressing it to form a semi circle (no need to seal). Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Heat a medium or large skillet (frying pan) on medium high heat. When hot, drizzle with olive oil, and carefully place a gozleme onto the hot surface, using a flexible spatula to press it onto the hot surface to encourage charring. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until charred, and then flip it over and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the their side is cooked, with charred spots. Cook remaining gozleme.
  • Cut into wedges, squeeze over some lemon juice and eat immediately.

Notes

I like to use a mix of kale and spinach. Add mushrooms to the spinach and feta mixture.
The feta can be replaced with grated halloumi, grated cheddar, mozzarella or gruyere.
