Cooking method

Cooking time: 30 min

  1. Step 1:

    Step 1

    Gather your ingredients. For the filling you'll need: hard cheese, dill, parsley, mayonnaise, sour cream, ground black pepper, and salt (skip the salt if the cheese is already salty).

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2

    Grate the cheese on the medium holes of a box grater.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3

    Wash the dill and parsley, dry them, and finely chop.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4

    Combine the cheese with the dill, parsley, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5

    Mix the filling thoroughly.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6

    Gather the rest of the ingredients. For the pockets you'll need lavash and vegetable oil for frying — refined, odorless sunflower oil is best.

  7. Step 7:

    Step 7

    Cut the lavash into strips 3 to 4 inches (8–10 cm) wide. I got 6 equal rectangles.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8

    Put 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling in the middle of each rectangle. Spread it in a thin layer over the whole strip, or, as I did, shape it into a triangle in the center.

  9. Step 9:

    Step 9

    Fold the lavash strips into triangles.

  10. Step 10:

    Step 10

    Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet. Fry the lavash triangles for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden.

  11. Step 11:

    Step 11

    Transfer the finished pockets to a paper-towel-lined plate. Serve them right away, while they're hot and the cheese is melty and stretchy. Enjoy!

  • I love all kinds of lavash dishes, but I'd only ever made rolls or whole filled pies before — never a fried version like this. And it turned out incredibly delicious. Fresh from the pan, the lavash tastes like thin, crisp pastry; the next day, as it takes on some moisture, it turns soft and tender. Besides the cheese-and-herb filling here, you can use other ingredients — smoked sausage and tomato, for instance. Just scoop the seedy centers out of the tomatoes so the filling stays thick and doesn't make the lavash soggy.
