Homemade Turkish Gozleme with Spinach and Ricotta and Feta
Homemade Turkish Gozleme with Spinach and Ricotta and Feta
I am spending my tomorrow in the country in Lexton with nine other women in business.
I have been gifted the pleasure of cooking for these women today & I am so looking forward to that. A day for us all to take time out to work on OUR businesses rather than IN them. It’s rare. I am sure all small business owners, wearing many hats, will say ‘Aye’.
Today is a chance to stop & think more deeply as well as support one another other. A day to nourish ourselves with good people, good food and taking time away from our every day. I am so up for that. My dearest girlfriend is the organiser & the thought of spending a day with her inside Graylings is such a treat. Yay!
One of the dishes I am preparing for our lunch is this Turkish gozleme. I cooked them also for the family on Monday (cause ya know #meatlessmonday, and we truly love that day each week).
These homemade Turkish Gozleme with Spinach and Ricotta and Feta were a massive winner dinner at our place this week. They are a delicious (and healthy) midweek dinner. They also make for a great brunch or lunch. You can pop a poached egg inside too, and it is pretty marvellous (and an extra hit of protein).
You can use good quality store-bought pitta (or use souvlaki wraps) for a quick mid-week dinner. You could, of course, make gozleme pastry from scratch when time is on your side, but it was not on mine. And, for us personally, that does not tick the box for a quick midweek dinner (in our books anyway).
I truly hope you enjoy this new recipe for Turkish Gozleme with Spinach, Ricotta, and Feta. Please do rate it & leave a comment if you do love it.
All my love,
Nellie
