Description

It is best to use homemade minced meat made from a mixture of beef and pork. You can prepare and even fry it in advance. It is also convenient to save some of the minced meat for patties, for example, but for the roll, you don't need to add bread and onion. Just pure meat. Spinach can be partially replaced with sorrel and/or green onions. The roll is great as a hot appetizer or as a main dish.

Ingredients

Armenian Lavash - 2 pieces
Veal Mince - 8.8 oz
Onion - 1 head
Garlic - 1 clove
Cream 22% - 2 fl oz
Fresh basil leaves - 14.1 oz
Parmesan Cheese - 4.2 oz
Salt - to taste
Ground Black Pepper - to taste
Red Long Chili Peppers - to taste
Chicken Egg - 1 piece

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Prepare the meat filling. Sauté the onion in olive oil, add the minced meat, and cook until done. Add salt, pepper, and spices to taste.

Step 2

While the meat cools, rinse the spinach, remove the roots and tough stems, and blanch the leaves in boiling water, then let them drain.

Step 3

Grate the cheese on a fine grater, add a little red paprika, and mix.

Step 4

When the meat cools, drain any excess juice, add the crushed garlic and cream, and blend until it reaches a paste-like consistency. The paste should not be liquid, so use fatty cream. If you don't have it, you can add a little sour cream, and if you need to make it thinner, you can add some meat juice.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 150–356°F. Lay a sheet of lavash on the table and sprinkle it with a thin layer of cheese. Top with spinach, leaving 5–10 cm free from one edge to close the roll, sprinkle with cheese again, and cover with the second sheet. Drizzle the lavash with olive oil and spread the meat paste over it as thinly as possible.

Step 6

Roll up the roll, securing the ends with leftover cheese. Place it on a baking sheet and brush with egg. Bake in the oven for 10–15 minutes until golden brown.
