Tips and measures

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 roasted eggplants
  • 150g feta cheese
  • 1 tsp chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Half bunch parsley

Method

  1. Knead the flour, water, and salt to form a non-sticky dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.
  2. Finely chop the roasted eggplants and mix with cheese, spices, and chopped parsley.
  3. Divide the dough into 8 equal balls and roll each one out to the size of a serving plate.
  4. Spread the filling on half of the dough, fold the other half over, and press the edges.
  5. Cook in a preheated pan until both sides are golden brown and lightly brush with oil.

Draining the excess liquid from the eggplants prevents the dough from getting soggy.
