A great snack made of lavash flatbread and a ready-made cutlet - original, appetizing, quick and cheap. Crispy toasted lavash, a juicy patty, pickled onion and melted cheese: homemade "shawarma" done right. Highly recommended!
Cutlet Lavash Wrap
A quick hearty snack: a lavash parcel with a juicy cutlet, pickled onion, tomatoes and cheese, toasted crisp in a dry pan.
Ingredients
Method
- Pickle the onion: slice into half-rings, season with salt and sugar, add a splash of oil and leave for 10 minutes.
- Spread the lavash with mayo. Layer the pickled onion, tomato rings, the cutlet in the middle, grated cheese and parsley.
- Fold into a parcel. Toast on a hot dry pan on both sides until crisp.
- Straight from the pan to the table. Enjoy!
Notes
Start toasting seam-side down - the parcel seals and won't unroll.
Tips and variations
- Pickled onion is the flavor secret: salt, sugar and a splash of oil for 10 minutes remove the bite and add gentle tang.
- Lavash: any shape works, round or rectangular - just make sure it's fresh so it doesn't crack when folding.
- Dry pan: toast the parcel without oil - the lavash crisps up while the cheese melts inside.
- Variations: swap the cutlet for chicken breast, nuggets or a fish patty; swap mayo for garlicky sour cream sauce.
FAQ
Can I make it ahead?
Assemble the parcels a few hours ahead and refrigerate; toast right before serving so the lavash stays crispy.
How do I fold it so it doesn't open?
Fold like an envelope: sides over the filling first, then roll away from you. Put the seam side down in the pan first - it seals shut.
