An easy way to turn dried out pita bread into fresh one and six delicious pita bread fillings

Dried lavash? No problem! You can easily restore the taste and lightness that make Armenian lavash famous all over the world. The brand chef of the MAMA MAHAHA restaurant shares a simple trick for saving lavash and delicious fillings.

To restore dried lavash to its former elasticity and taste, you need to take… a spray bottle. Spray the dried lavash with water several times and put it in the oven for a couple of minutes. This will make the lavash fragrant, soft and pliable again. Therefore, it should be eaten while it is hot. There are many options for fillings for this.

Greens and egg

The first option, the most ideal: take pita bread, lots of different herbs (it is imperative that there is tarragon), goat cheese and a hard-boiled egg. Crumble the cheese and egg, spread on the herbs (the herbs do not tear), wrap tightly in pita bread and enjoy. Wash it down well with a cold tan – you get a summer morning snack in Virensk.

Cheeses

The second option with pita bread, if there is a slice of cheese left after some event, you can take all the cheeses, chop them slightly, fold them in the middle of the pita bread and make an envelope. Either on a dry pan, or with the addition of a small amount of ghee, we fry on both sides. It turns out, let's say, crispy pita khachapuri with cheese inside – it's also very tasty. Tomatoes can be added to cheese in pita bread envelopes.

Omelette

When you make an omelet with vegetables, or with basturma, or with tomatoes for a huge family and there is a little left in the pan – this often happens. You can take this ready-made omelet, add goat cheese to it, wrap it all in a lavash roll and eat it right away without frying.

Meat

If you have leftover meat (pork, chicken – it doesn’t matter) and vegetables from the barbecue, take a large piece of pita bread and make a kind of shawarma. Chop the meat, vegetables and herbs, add the sauce. You can use mayonnaise, taratar sauce or adjika. Wrap it in shawarma and fry on both sides in a dry frying pan, or preheat the oven to 200 degrees and put it in there for 6-7 minutes.

Fish

Fish in pita bread is also delicious. Any boneless fish is first rolled in flour and fried almost until cooked. Take pita bread, put the fried fish there, add your favorite herbs, you can add a few pieces of butter for satiety and aroma. We wrap all this in a roll and put it in the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degrees.

Vegetables

And vegetarian pita rolls are also very good. We take all the vegetables we have from the refrigerator, avocado, tomatoes, if there is hummus – that's great. We add greens, roll it all up into rolls and you can either bake it or eat it raw. I like it raw better. And bake it for a short time, literally 2 minutes on a hot frying pan, so that the pita becomes crispy and the vegetables remain fresh.
