Fried Lavash Envelopes with Sprats

Like open-faced sprat sandwiches, but with an unexpected twist on a familiar dish. One morning we were craving sprat sandwiches for breakfast. I opened a can of sprats and was honestly dismayed — the fish inside were tiny and drab, and half of them were broken to pieces. They tasted great, of course, but they looked terrible. That's when it hit me to hide the homely little fish inside lavash envelopes. My husband loved these sprat-sandwich-style lavash envelopes so much he licked his fingers clean.

    1. First, make the filling for the lavash envelopes. Hard-boil the eggs, then peel them and grate them on a coarse grater. 2. Take some cheese — any kind works, even a processed cheese or a blend of hard and processed cheese. Grate it on a fine grater. 3. Break the garlic head into cloves, take 1–2 cloves, and peel them. Grate the garlic on a fine grater or press it through a garlic press. 4. Wash the dill (or any fresh herbs) and chop it finely. 5. In a bowl, combine the cheese, eggs, herbs, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. You can add a spoonful of mayonnaise to bind it; I didn't have any, so I added a couple of spoonfuls of the oil from the sprats. Even with nothing added, the filling holds together well in the finished envelopes once the cheese melts. 6. Cut the lavash into squares. 7. Take one lavash square and place a tablespoon of filling in the center. Lay two sprats on top of the filling. Fold in the sides and roll up the lavash (like a pancake) to form an envelope with the filling inside. 8. Fry the lavash envelopes in vegetable oil on both sides. These come out delicious and crispy, tasting just like the sprat sandwiches so many people love — only with lavash in place of bread. They're original enough that you won't hesitate to serve them to guests. They're also a great way to disguise fish that didn't turn out picture-perfect. You could even use sprat paste in place of whole sprats, which is far cheaper. These envelopes are best fresh and hot off the pan. They're still tasty cold, but the lavash loses its crunch. Cooking is an art, so get creative and have fun with it! Enjoy!
