Recipe


Ingredients


  • Dough
  • 300g wholemeal spelt flour
  • ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 250g full-fat natural yoghurt (or Greek yoghurt)
  • ½ tsp apple-cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • Filling
  • 120g leafy greens (spinach, rocket, kale, silver beet, soft-leaf herbs), finely chopped
  • 1 bunch spring onions, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 50g parmesan, grated
  • 200g feta, crumbled
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 lemon, wedges to serve
  • 60mL olive oil

Method


  • Place spelt flour, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl and mix to combine. Add the yoghurt, apple-cider vinegar and olive oil and mix well. Knead for 30 secs then divide into 8 balls and rest on a floured board.
  • In one bowl, place the finely diced greens.
  • In a second bowl, combine the spring onion, garlic, parmesan, feta, cumin, pepper and zest of 1 lemon.
  • Roll the dough into 15-20cm circles. Place ½ cup of the greens and 2 tbsp of the cheese mixture on one half of the dough.
  • Fold it over, pressing the edges together roughly.
  • Heat a non-stick or cast-iron pan to a moderate heat. Add olive oil and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 mins each side.
  • While the first one or two pockets are cooking, start forming the next two, repeating until all are cooked. Set aside cooked pockets on a plate until all are cooked.
  • Serve immediately with wedges of lemon.
