Lavash rolls are very simple and tasty snacks for the festive table. They can be submitted for both Birthday and New Year, yes, for almost any family holiday when you want variety on a rich table. It's simple tasty dish gained its popularity not so long ago, and now occupies an honorable place among traditional snacks... And it's no secret that you can make lavash rolls with a huge variety of fillings.

We will tell you a few recipes for the most delicious rolls, and you will surely find the ones that suit your taste. Such snacks will surely please your guests and will delight loved ones.

The main component of this appetizer is thin Armenian lavash. It is sold in stores in the bakery department and is almost always readily available. If desired, it is not difficult to bake it yourself. But, if there is no time for this, then a good fresh pita from the store is perfect.

Lavash rolls with red fish (salmon) and cream cheese

To prepare such a roll, we need:

  • Armenian thin lavash,
  • slightly salted red fish (salmon, trout, chum salmon) - 200 grams,
  • soft cream cheese (not processed, look for soft cheeses in jars like Almetta, Cremetta, Violetta, Philadelphia, Mascarpone) - 180-200 grams,
  • lemon juice - 1-2 teaspoons, drizzle over fish.
  • greens to taste

To make pita rolls with salmon and cream cheese, cut lightly salted salmon into thin slices. The thinner the pieces are, the easier it will be to wrap the roll and the neater it will look.

Spread the cream cheese over the pita bread in a thin, even layer. Then, spread the fish slices, but not closely, but at small intervals. It is good to alternate the taste of cheese and fish in layers if you put them in a checkerboard pattern.

Sprinkle lightly with lemon juice on the salmon to accentuate the flavor. A cooking spray is a great way to apply the lemon juice in a thin, even layer.

After that, you can sprinkle the pita bread with cheese and fish with a thin layer of finely chopped greens. Dill or green onions are great. But I do not recommend putting in too much greens, as they can overwhelm the delicate flavors of fish and cheese. Better to decorate the rolls with herbs on top, when serving.

Roll up the pita bread with a very dense sausage, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least half an hour. During this time, the lavash will soak and become softer.

Take the roll out of the refrigerator right before serving it on the festive table. After you have unrolled it, cut into slices 2-3 centimeters thick exactly across if you want smaller portions, or diagonally, which will make the pieces longer and larger.

Arrange nicely on a plate and garnish with herbs or cherry tomatoes.

Take crab sticks and grate them on a coarse grater. You can also cut it into small strips with a knife. Avoid large, thick pieces, they will make the roll bumpy and ugly, and it will be more difficult to wrap it.

If you are using hard processed cheese in briquettes, then grate it. If soft, mix it with crab sticks, but reduce the amount of mayonnaise.

Chop the herbs finely. Combine crab sticks, cheese, herbs and mayonnaise in a separate bowl until smooth.

Spread the pita bread on a clean, dry surface. Spread the resulting filling on it with an even layer. Roll the roll tightly, being careful not to leave air bubbles.

You can often hear that fast food is harmful to health and digestion, and contributes to excess weight. In fact, those who mean burgers and hot dogs, fries and other fast food dishes say so. But fast food is just a quick-cooked food, and it doesn't have to be fatty, unhealthy or high-calorie. Dishes from thin pita bread belong to the fast kitchen, but at the same time they can be both hearty and high-calorie, and light: for vegetarians and diet menus. This article contains best recipes for every taste from what you can fill a thin pita bread with a photo and detailed explanations of the step-by-step preparation.

What kind of pita bread is worth taking?

To fill pita bread at home with something from the handy products available in the refrigerator, you must immediately select the correct main ingredient. Lavash is different: Armenian - thin, often rectangular and Georgian - more magnificent, round. Tortilla, unleavened bread in the form of a flatbread, is a close relative of pita bread from Mexico, and the Indian chapati flatbread is the same pita bread, only fried in a dry pan.

For the preparation of various rolls, rolls, pies and lavash-based snacks, Armenian lavash is usually used, and how to stuff it and how to do it correctly is described below. It is worth noting that it is necessary to buy pita bread as fresh as possible and store it tightly before cooking, since it dries very quickly in the air and, when rolled into a roll, begins to break and crumble.

Do not forget that if the filling in the pita bread is rather soft and generously flavored with sauces, such a dish is served immediately or no later than ten minutes after cooking, otherwise the dough will get wet and tear. If the appetizer was prepared for yourself, it is inconvenient to eat, but not scary, and if this is a festive dish, it will be extremely awkward in front of the guests.

If there are a lot of greens in the filling: Chinese cabbage, bell peppers or parsley - such options can retain their integrity longer, which means that it is convenient to take them on the road, as a snack to work or school, as well as for a picnic. Lavash stuffed with meat and sausage, cheese is very convenient to take where there is a microwave - to warm up a snack.

What can be used to stuff pita bread?

An impromptu dish that is prepared in a matter of minutes almost anywhere (if only there are food) has long been to the taste not only of fast food lovers, but also of eternally busy employees, students and even people leading a healthy lifestyle. There are more than enough recipes for filling pita bread:

  • Crab sticks with boiled eggs and dill: a classic and favorite by many. Grate sticks, mix with chopped dill and eggs, lightly season with sour cream or mayonnaise. Wrap the resulting salad in pita bread and let it soak for 10-15 minutes.
  • The classic version of homemade shawarma: pieces of boiled meat or fried in a pan until ready, season with spices and spread on the surface of lavash, lightly greased with ketchup or mayonnaise, on top of it, put Korean carrots or fresh cabbage salad, slices of fresh or pickled cucumbers on top of it a small amount of ketchup or mustard and wrap in an envelope and heat a little in the oven or microwave. Households will be delighted.
  • Finely chopped sausage, mixed with Korean carrots or fresh tomatoes, cut into strips and mayonnaise - the taste is very similar to the hot dog so beloved by everyone, but due to thin lavash made from yeast-free dough is a less high-calorie dish.
  • Korean-style carrots with lavash are the basis for many options and variations on the shawarma theme, from meat to vegetarian. It is worth experimenting with different combinations in order to find something of your own unique and pleasant taste.
  • Peking cabbage with thin slices of salami seasoned with spicy ketchup is Mexican hot and quite satisfying.
  • Vegetarian option: lots of chopped dill, parsley mixed with homemade cottage cheese and a pinch of salt.

This list can be continued indefinitely, because there are many ideas about how to fill thin pita bread, so we will dwell on the most interesting in more detail.

Instead of supper

Sometimes it happens that there is no time or energy to prepare food, the family is persistently waiting, and in the refrigerator there is nothing but eggs, mushrooms and dried Druzhba cheese. This is a great opportunity to fill pita bread, which the male part will be incredibly happy about - after all, they are so greedy for all sorts of fast foods. Finely chop the mushrooms and fry in vegetable oil with onions until golden brown, you should definitely season with black pepper and, of course, do not forget to salt. If you have pickled cucumbers - great! They will also be used and accentuate the mushrooms.

On the spread out pita bread, we make small strips of mayonnaise, spread them over the surface and sprinkle with grated cheese, on top of which we pour ready-made mushrooms in an even layer. On the narrow side of the pita bread, lay out circles of cucumbers in a row and wrap it in an envelope, making sure that the filling is tightly held inside, if necessary, you can chop it off with wooden toothpicks. In a dry frying pan and low heat, slightly warm the resulting pie and call our household members. They will be delighted with melted cheese mixed with mushroom filling and a crispy crust of thin pita bread. If there is also sausage in the refrigerator, cut it into slices and send it to the mushrooms, no one will be against it.

Festive rolls

Even for a festive table, you can think of how to stuff pita bread, so that the appetizer from it looks royally, and the taste overshadows all other dishes. For this we need:

  • Red fish fillet: lightly salted or slightly smoked.
  • Fresh cucumber.
  • Lettuce greens or Chinese cabbage.
  • 1 double pita bread.
  • Mayonnaise for a bundle of ingredients.

Cut the fillet into thin small pieces, the cucumber into strips (you do not need to peel the skin) or very thin circles, thoroughly wash the greens and dry them. The salad can be left whole, and the Chinese cabbage can be chopped, removing the thick parts of the leaves. Grease the lavash spread on the table with mayonnaise, spread the pieces of fish on it in a thin layer, sprinkle cucumbers on top, and greens on them.

We roll up the roll tightly, for this purpose, you can use cling film, then the pita is easily rolled up, and the filling remains in place. We place the resulting rolls in the refrigerator for half an hour, and then cut them obliquely with a sharp knife. You can decorate with slices of fresh tomatoes or radishes, forming roses, around which you can beautifully lay cooked fish rolls.

What can be used to stuff pita bread if there was no canned food in the oil? They can be replaced with sprats or slices of finely chopped smoked fish. Of course, with canned fish it is easier and faster, even tastier, but sometimes the circumstances are stronger, so we use what we have and don't worry - the result will be impressive. You may notice that the ingredients of the filling are reminiscent of the composition of the "Mimosa" salad, so beloved by fans of puff salads. Here, according to their principle, we prepare a pita roll, laying out the ingredients in layers.

Rolls with cheese

Everyone's favorite cheese of various sorts will come to the rescue: from inexpensive processed and smoked, to aromatic Dutch, tender brie or light mozzarella.

The cheese is rubbed on a coarse grater or cut into thin strips, an additive to taste is selected to it:

  • boiled eggs, cut into strips, go well with the Dutch variety;
  • oil-fried mushrooms, mashed with a blender and sprinkled with a clove of garlic for flavor;
  • slices of red fish fillet: salmon, salmon or pink salmon;
  • fresh tomato slices mixed with aromatic basil leaves; this option is especially good with mozzarella.
  • garlic mixed with mayonnaise; This combination with cheese is the well-known "Jewish snack", which is often stuffed not only with lavash, but also boiled eggs.

Mayonnaise is spread on pita bread with a thin layer, generously sprinkled with cheese, and an additive chosen as an adjunct is placed on the thin edge of the base. Roll up the pita bread with a tight roll and place in the refrigerator for half an hour, then it will become softer, soaked in the taste of the filling. Before serving, cut diagonally into small slices and arrange picturesquely on a plate, garnish with fresh vegetables.

Vegan lavash: with spinach and tomatoes

How easy and delicious is it to fill pita bread if you do not eat animal products? These respected people also have their own niche in culinary, which carefully takes into account all wishes and preferences. Of course, pita bread with fresh vegetables would be ideal for vegans: spread the pita bread on the table and grease its entire surface with any vegetable oil cold pressed, such as sesame or olive. Nowadays, you can often find spice oils ready for salad dressing in vegan departments - you can use them. You can also use vegan soy milk mayonnaise or avocado hummus instead of butter.

Rinse fresh spinach under running water and shake vigorously to remove excess water, or pat dry with a paper towel. We cut the leaves into wide strips, although you can put them whole - the taste does not suffer from this, and it is easier to fill the pita bread than with small pieces. Cut fresh tomato into thin slices or wide strips, tofu cheese into thin slices or cubes. Put spinach on one side of the pita bread, a layer of tomatoes on it and sprinkle with chopped tofu on top. Roll the pita bread tightly into a roll and immediately start absorbing it, because it is incredibly tasty and healthy.

Another recipe for vegans

This option is good for picnics when there is a vegan among friends. How nice it will be for him when he learns that you have reckoned with his worldview and prepared shawarma especially for him. Knowing that lavash is often greased with mayonnaise or sour cream, you need to prepare a replacement for it, because vegans do not use such products. How to stuff thin pita bread, which is dry without these additives? There is an alternative: it is necessary to soak half a glass of peeled sunflower seeds in water, and after three hours grind with a blender in mashed potatoes, while rinsing or draining the remaining water is not necessary. Add 1 tbsp to the mass. a spoonful of lemon juice, a little salt to taste and a chopped clove of garlic for flavor.

Beat thoroughly again with a blender and taste: why not mayonnaise? Spread it on unrolled pita bread, thinly cut avocado slices on it, and on top of them - circles fresh cucumber... Lightly salt and roll, trying to pack it tightly.

Sweet rolls (with photo)

What can you stuff lavash with if you want something sweet, but dietary? You can use a cottage cheese filling with fresh berries, for the preparation of which you will need:

  • 200 grams of fresh fatty cottage cheese;
  • 1 tbsp. a spoonful of granulated sugar;
  • a pinch of vanilla or grated zest (optional);
  • two handfuls of any fresh berries: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries;
  • one pita bread, which is cut into two parts.

Using a blender, mix the cottage cheese, sugar and vanilla into a fluffy mass. If it is a little dry, then you can add one or two tbsp. tablespoons of sour cream: the mass should be similar to whipped cream, but with small particles of cottage cheese. We wash the berries with running water, dry them on a napkin. We cut the large ones into two or four parts, and the small ones, like blueberries and raspberries, go whole. On the spread out lavash with a spoon, generously spread the curd mass, sprinkle abundantly with berries, the number of them is the same as the curd. We roll the pita bread into a roll and send it to the refrigerator for half an hour, then cut it into rolls with a sharp knife and pour it with berry sauce when serving or put two or three balls of ice cream. If you want a complete extravaganza of taste, then you can pour with chocolate syrup and sprinkle with chopped walnuts- the kids will be incredibly happy about such a holiday of the belly.

You can simplify the task, and beat the cottage cheese together with berries and sugar with a blender into a monotonous cream and spread it on pita bread, wrapping it as usual. When cut, it will not look as tempting as the main option, but it will be easier to cut, and the shape of such rolls will hold better.

How beautiful to serve a pita roll?

It is already clear how to fill pita bread at home, but how to serve it in an original way if it is a festive table or a reception for friends, because you simply cannot put pita bread wrapped in a tube on the table - this can only be done at a picnic. There are many options for spectacular designs, and they all depend on the cook's imagination, his ability to experiment and "feel" the cooking process. Here's an example:

  • If the stuffed pita bread keeps its shape well, the filling does not crumble in it, then you can cut it into four parts: you will get columns about 4-5 cm high.Place them on a round dish in the form of a rosette, and between them picturesquely arrange sprigs of fresh parsley and lemon wedges ...
  • Cut the softer roll diagonally into thin slices and put on a platter in the form of a peacock's tail, decorating the middle of each slice with olive.
  • On a round shallow plate, lay out the slices of sliced ​​pita bread stuffed according to the principle of meat slicing, when one slice half overlaps the other. In the center, you can place a pile of salad Olivier, "Belochka" or from crab sticks (to match the filling in pita bread) - with what the pita bread was stuffed with.
  • The photo below serves up another interesting idea for serving this simple yet delicious snack.
