Instructions
- Start by taking yufka dough out of the fridge in order to defrost, so it’ll be soft afterwards for rolling.
- If you’re using fresh spinach, make sure to wash and clean it. In a pot, bring water to boil, salt slightly and add spinach for 3-5 minutes. Afterwards pour pff water. If you use frozen spinach, prepare according to package instructions.
- Peel and finely chop garlic and shallots. Take out artichokes from can and roughly cut into bite-sized pieces.
- In a bowl, mix shallots, artichokes and spinach. Add silken tofu, soy cream, lemon juice – then stir and season with nutmeg, salt, pepper, cumin and paprika. Stir in pine nuts.
- Prepare an oven-safe casserole by brushing 1 tbsp oil in it.
- Time to roll. Transfer one yufka sheet on a surface. Brush 1 tbsp oil on it, then transfer another sheet directly on top of it. Place stuffing on the buttom of sheet (approx. 3 tbsp of filling) and roll it carefully, yet tightly.
- Afterwards soll into a roll and transfer to the middle of your casserole.
- Repeat with remaining dough and filling, until it’s all used up. Keep adding ready rolls to casserole, until it is completely filled. Don’t worry if there’s a roll ripping a bit.
- As soon as you’re done, brush with olive oil one more time, sprinkle sesame on top and bake in the oven at 180°C / 355°F for 20 minutes or until dough is golden brown.
- During baking, prepare dip. Therefore, you’ll only need to stir everything together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Serve yufka roll warm with dip and enjoy!
