Cooking method

Cooking time: 15 min

Step 1:

How do you make cheesy sausage lavash roll-ups in a skillet? Peel the casing off the sausages. A small knife makes this easy — just work the tip under the casing at the end of each sausage. Some sausages come in a natural casing; that won't peel off cleanly, and there's no need to bother.
Step 2:

Use scissors to cut a large sheet of thin Armenian lavash into long strips. Each strip should be about as wide as your sausages are long.
Step 3:

Spoon ketchup and mayonnaise into the middle of each strip — about 1 1/2 teaspoons of each per strip. You can skip the mayo to cut the calories, but leaving out the ketchup would be a real shame, in my opinion.
Step 4:

Spread the ketchup and mayo over the strip, stirring them together with a teaspoon as you go, but stop about 1/2 inch (1.5 cm) short of one of the short ends. That way, when you roll it up, the "ketchunaise" sauce won't leak out and burn during frying. Sprinkle coarsely grated cheese over the top.
Step 5:

Wrap the sausage in the lavash, starting from the short end.
Step 6:

Heat a nonstick skillet with low sides over high heat. Pour in the sunflower oil and let it get good and hot. Then add the roll-ups and fry for about two minutes per side.
Step 7:

I fried mine on three sides. Cooking time can vary a lot depending on your skillet and your particular stove.

No matter how careful you are, some cheese may still ooze out of the lavash while frying. Scrape it off the skillet right away, since it burns very quickly. For this recipe you can use hard or semi-hard cheeses (Russian, Tilsit, or even Parmesan) or softer ones like mozzarella. Hard cheese gives a sharper, more piquant result; soft cheese makes it milder. As for what to skip: save processed cheese for sandwiches and blue cheese for a glass of white wine — neither really works here. Inside the lavash, the sausage comes out like it was lightly boiled, and the cheese is fully melted. I served these with a cold soda. What can I say — everyone loved them! Just don't overdo it, since they're very rich. Enjoy!
