Hand-rolled yufka flatbreads filled with cheese and spinach or minced meat, folded and cooked on a griddle.

Ingredients

• 600g fresh mussels
• 300g yufka pastry
• 2 tbsp sliced scallions
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• a generous handful of green peppers
• a handful of fresh dill, chopped
• butter-fried pita, for serving
• 2 cups water

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the pide bread base and set it aside to rest while you get the filling ready.

2. 2

   In a bowl, combine the red lentils, red onions, sliced scallions, and dried mint, mixing well so everything is evenly seasoned.

3. 3

   Heat olive oil in a skillet, wok, or on a griddle over medium-high heat until shimmering.

4. 4

   Cook the pide bread until lightly golden on each side, then transfer to a warm plate.

5. 5

   Fry, grill, or steam the red lentils mixture until cooked through and lightly charred at the edges, about 10 mins.

6. 6

   Assemble by layering the pide bread with the filling, a spoonful of lemon wedges, and a scattering of dill.

7. 7

   Add a final touch of butter-fried pita for extra flavor and texture.
