Ingredients
Scale
- 125g all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp aquafaba
- 2–3 tbsp water
- pinch of salt
For the filling:
- 125g greens and herbs of your choice (ramson, sorrel, spinach, parsley, scallions, cilantro, dill, mint)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
- more oil for brushing
Instructions
- Wash the greens beforehead and let them dry.
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour, pinch of salt and aquafaba. Add water, starting with 2 tablespoons first. Knead the dough and add more water if it’s too dry. The dough should be very stiff.
- Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes. The dough will become softer and more elastic after resting.
- Meanwhile chop the greens. When you’re ready to form qutabs, mix it with olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Heat a cast iron pan over medium to high heat.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll out each one into very thin circle, as thin as you can.
- Spread quarter of the filling onto a half of the circle and fold it so it has shape of a half moon. Press the edges and transfer qutab into the skillet.
- Cook qutabs for 1-1.5 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and brush with olive oil.
- Serve right away with vegan yogurt or on its own as a side dish.
