Lamb, Feta & Pine nut Gozleme
A recipe I’ve been wanting to work on for a while has finally taken shape. As close to authentic, market stall Turkish gozleme as you’ll get with just a few simple ingredients.
This recipe is easy to modify by substituting the lamb for roasted pumpkin if you prefer a vegetarian alternative.
The thought of making a dough from scratch can turn you off a recipe. This is the easiest dough you’ll ever make with just Two ingredients.
