Lava pie with shrimps and spinach

6 servings

60 minutes

Lavash pie with shrimp and spinach is a refined dish of European cuisine that combines the tenderness of seafood and the freshness of greens. The lavash soaked in a fragrant filling of shrimp, spinach, and goat cheese gives the pie an airy texture and a light crispy crust. Black sesame and garlic add spiciness, while kefir makes the filling juicy. This dish is perfect for both festive dinners and cozy home gatherings. It harmoniously combines the rich taste of seafood with the softness of cheese and greens, creating gastronomic delight in every bite. It is best served slightly cooled to fully reveal its flavor nuances. Such a pie can be served with a glass of white wine or a light yogurt-based sauce to highlight its delicate texture.

Ingredients

• Armenian lavash: 2 pc
• Kefir: 150 ml
• Chicken egg: 2 pc
• Goat cheese: 200 g
• Shrimps: 150 g
• Cheese: 100 g
• Salt: to taste
• Black sesame seeds: to taste
• Garlic: 2 clove
• Frozen spinach: 150 g

Cooking steps

1. Place the spinach in cold water to thaw. Once thawed, squeeze it out and chop it like herbs without unraveling the leaves.

   Required ingredients:

   • Frozen spinach: 150 g

2. Clean the shrimp and cut them into centimeter segments. If the shrimp are raw (which is good), there's no need to fry them!

   Required ingredients:

   • Shrimps: 150 g

3. Grate cheese into a large bowl. Set aside a handful of grated cheese. Add about 1.5 eggs, minced garlic, black sesame, salt, pepper, as well as chopped spinach and shrimp to the bowl. Mix well. Pour in kefir until the mixture has a consistency like sour cream. If the lavash is dry, add more kefir.

   Required ingredients:

   • Cheese: 100 g
   • Chicken egg: 2 pieces
   • Garlic: 2 cloves
   • Black sesame seeds:  to taste
   • Salt:  to taste
   • Kefir: 150 ml
   • Armenian lavash: 2 pieces

4. Grab scissors and start layering the pie. Place a sheet of lavash at the bottom with an excess to form edges. Next, add a thin layer of filling, then a lavash piece sized to the mold, and continue until you run out of filling, ensuring a lavash sheet is on top. In a 25x25 mold, you get about 6 layers. On the last layer of lavash, add the remaining handful of cheese mixed with half an egg and black sesame.

   Required ingredients:

   • Armenian lavash: 2 pieces
   • Cheese: 100 g
   • Chicken egg: 2 pieces
   • Black sesame seeds:  to taste

5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees until golden brown, about 30-40 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve.
