• For Dough

2 1/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/2 cup water

• For Filling

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion chopped

2 cloves garlic minced

1/2 lb ground lamb

1 tbsp tomato paste

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp smoked paprika

2 tsp ground cumin

salt and pepper to taste

6 oz frozen spinach thawed and chopped

1/2 cup fresh mint chopped

2 green onions chopped

1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped

1/2 cup feta cheese crumbled

1 medium tomato chopped

lemon wedges and olives to serve

Instructions

Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and stir in the yogurt and water. Continue mixing with a spoon until everything is well combined. If the dough is too dry adjust by adding a bit more water, start with a tablespoon at a time.

Flour your work surface and knead the dough for about 3 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean tea towel and set aside.

In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat then add the chopped onion and garlic. Saute onion and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Add the ground lamb to the skillet and break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, until browned. Stir in the tomato paste, coriander, paprika, cumin, salt and pepper. Add the spinach, stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes. Let the meat mixture cool slightly.

In the meantime divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Roll each piece into a rectangle that's about 12x10 inches.

Spoon about 3 tbsp of the lamb mixture in the middle of the rectangle and spread it out a bit. Add some fresh mint, green onions, fresh parsley, 1/4 of the crumbled feta, and some chopped tomato. Fold over the edges of the dough to seal. Repeat with remaining dough pieces.

Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Depending on the size of your skillet, add 1 or 2 of the gozleme and cook on each side for about 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Spray more cooking spray as needed.

Cut each gozleme in half diagonally and serve with lemon wedges and olives.
