Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour

braised minced meat rolled in flatbread (lavas)

Preheat the oven to 180°C (top and bottom heat). Peel and dice the onion and peel the garlic. Heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the diced onion until translucent. Press in the garlic and sauté briefly. Add the minced meat to the pan and fry well. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin, and mix in the chopped parsley. Set aside. Beat the egg with the milk. Brush a loaf of lava bread on the work surface with the beaten egg. Spread a quarter of the minced meat in strips across the bottom third of the flatbread, fold the sides over, and wrap the filling tightly in the flatbread from the bottom. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads. Cut each roll into 4 pieces, place on a baking sheet, and brush with the remaining egg mixture. If desired, sprinkle the dough rolls with sesame seeds. Cut off the stems from the peppers and knock out the seeds. Lightly oil the dough and spread it between the rolls on the baking tray. Place the tray in the hot oven for about 20 minutes and bake until golden brown. Meanwhile, for the sauce, heat the butter and olive oil in a small frying pan or saucepan and fry the paprika paste. Pour in enough hot water to create a smooth, almost runny sauce. Bring to a boil and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into thick slices. Heat a little olive oil in a wide frying pan and fry the tomato slices on both sides for about 3-5 minutes. Remove the rolls from the oven, place a large dollop of yogurt on each plate, and arrange the rolls with the baked peppers and tomato slices. Spread the sauce over the rolls and tomato slices. Serve immediately. It’s a very delicious Turkish recipe, so it’s best to get the ingredients from a Turkish grocery store, especially the long, thin chili peppers, as well as the paprika paste and ground lamb, if you plan to cook with them. The pale green chili peppers are mild, while the dark green ones are hot.
