Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make pita bread with crab sticks and melted cheese? We will need Armenian lavash (wheat roll is also suitable). For the filling of the roll, choose delicious and high-quality crab sticks, ripe tomato, processed cheese, garlic, dill (or any other herbs to taste) and mayonnaise (it is better to cook homemade, but you can also use store-bought)
Step 2:
Grate crab sticks on a medium grater.
Step 3:
Also grate the processed cheese on a medium grater. To make the cheese easier to grate, you can pre-put it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 4:
Wash the tomato, dry it and cut it into small cubes. In order for the pita bread not to get too wet while it is cooling, it is better to remove the liquid core with seeds from the tomato.
Step 5:
Pass the garlic through the press (you can finely chop it).
Step 6:
Wash the dill, dry it and chop it finely.
Step 7:
Combine crab sticks, grated cheese, herbs and garlic in a salad bowl.
Step 8:
Season with mayonnaise.
Step 9:
Mix thoroughly.
Step 10:
Expand the lavash leaf. Spread the crab-cheese mass evenly over the pita bread.
Step 11:
Sprinkle the pita bread with tomato slices evenly on top.
Step 12:
Roll the pita bread into a tight roll. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours for impregnation.
Step 13:
Cut the chilled roll into portions and serve to the table. Bon appetit!
It is better to prepare mayonnaise yourself. It will be tastier and healthier. See here interesting
recipes for homemade mayonnaise.
Also, as a dressing, you can use not only mayonnaise, but also sour cream or natural yogurt. They can be taken separately or mixed with mayonnaise in any proportion to your taste - this will reduce the calorie content of the dish.
How to choose the right pita bread? First of all, look at the date of manufacture on the package. Do not take expired pastries. Fresh pita bread should have a pleasant smell. Take a good look so that there are no stains and signs of mold on it.
How to buy crab sticks correctly? Be sure to pay attention to the expiration date of the product. Surimi meat (minced white fish) should appear in the list of ingredients in the first place. Important! Do not buy the product if there is frost on it. This is a sign of repeated freezing. Fresh sticks should be free of gray and yellow spots, elastic and slightly moist. If the product is sticky, it means it is spoiled.
Pita bread rolls and rolls are a universal substitute for dough. If there is no desire to mess with the dough, you can wrap something delicious in pita bread and either eat it like that, or fry it, or bake it in the oven. I recently made envelopes of pita bread with cheese - pita bread can not be distinguished from ordinary dough at all - it turned out so soft and delicious. The abundance of all kinds of fillings is simply amazing, starting from crab sticks and ending with mushrooms, meat and vegetables. There were even sweet rolls with cottage cheese, fruit and condensed milk.
