  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make lazy lasagna in a frying pan? Very simple. First, prepare the necessary ingredients. Take the minced meat to taste. It can be pork, beef or mixed. I prefer ground beef.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Start cooking by preparing the filling. Peel the carrots and cut them into small cubes or strips.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Cut the tomato into small cubes. You can pre-peel the tomato by making incisions on it and dropping it into hot water for a couple of minutes. You can also replace an ordinary tomato with cherry or sliced tomatoes in their own juice. If there is none of the above, 3 tablespoons of tomato paste or ketchup will do.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Cut the string beans into small pieces if they are whole. If you use already cut frozen beans, just defrost them beforehand.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Grate the cheese on a coarse grater.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Chop the greens finely.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7.

    Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the minced meat, stirring, until the excess moisture has completely evaporated.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Add the prepared tomatoes, string beans and carrots to the minced meat. Season everything with salt, pepper and fry, stirring, for another 4-5 minutes. Carrots and beans should be soft.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9.

    At the end, add the greens and mix. Remove the pan from the heat.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10.

    You will need 2-3 sheets of lavash for the base. Instead of Armenian lavash, you can also use 2-3 sheets of wheat roll. They are thicker and the bottom of the lasagna will not get so wet.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11.

    Cut circles out of the pita bread. Two of them should be larger than the frying pan in which the lasagna will be formed, and the rest with a diameter slightly smaller. I got 2 large circles and 4 smaller ones.

  12. Step 12:

    Step 12.

    Grease the frying pan with oil. Lay out two large sheets of pita bread to make the sides.

  13. Step 13:

    Step 13.

    Put some of the minced meat on the pita bread and sprinkle with cheese liberally.

  14. Step 14:

    Step 14.

    Put a smaller pita bread sheet on the minced meat. Also distribute the minced meat and cheese on it.

  15. Step 15:

    Step 15.

    So, alternating layers of lavash and filling, form the lasagna until the stuffing is finished. If desired, leave some grated cheese to sprinkle over the top of the lasagna. Cover the last layer of minced meat with the last sheet of pita bread. Fill the dish with broth or plain water and, if desired, sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

  16. Step 16:

    Step 16.

    Put the pan on the stove, cover and fry the lasagna over medium heat for 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and the broth evaporates. Make sure that the lasagna does not burn from the bottom.

  17. Step 17:

    Step 17.

    If desired, you can put the frying pan (if the handle is not made of fusible material in it) in the preheated oven on the grill mode so that the cheese on top gets a ruddy crust. Bon appetit!

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.

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
