After traveling to sunny Italy, I literally fell ill with Italian cuisine. Every day I prepared different dishes and snacks, many of which we had not even tried during the trip. I was just so carried away by this that I signed up for master classes from famous Italian restaurant chefs to properly learn how to cook pizza, lasagna, ravioli, calzones and pastas with all kinds of fillings.
Of course, after some time, my interest in this cuisine noticeably diminished, and my household more and more wanted simple borscht or chicken cutlets with porridge for lunch. Therefore, I began to gradually integrate my knowledge, experience gained and come up with new dishes. For example, today for you - lasagna made from pita bread with minced meat, recipe with photos at home. But unlike the classic recipe, I replaced the dough for this dish with thin Armenian lavash.
According to tradition, lasagna is prepared from different fillings, layered with dough, coated with several types of sauces and sprinkled with sliced dairy cheeses - Mozzarella or Ricotta; in some cases, you can add grated Parmesan. I started adding a layer of Dutch cheese to my lasagna, and I really liked this option. As a filling, I put minced pork or beef, fried with onions in a frying pan. And I use classic sauces - tomato sauce made from chopped ripe tomatoes, evaporated in a frying pan, and white Bechamel sauce. I bake the dish in the oven until golden brown. It turns out very tasty, juicy and appetizing, the main thing is not to skimp on the sauce, then the lasagna will be amazingly tasty.

Ingredients:
- minced meat (pork or beef) – 500 g,
- onion – 1 pc.,
- thin lavash – 3 pcs.,
- garlic – 1-2 cloves,
- whole milk – 1 tbsp.,
- butter – 60 g,
- ripe tomato fruits – 5 pcs.,
- wheat flour – 2 tbsp.,
- hard cheese (any kind, but Dutch is better) – 250 g.

How to cook with photos step by step

Let's divide the preparation of the dish into stages, and first of all, prepare the meat filling.

To do this, mix the minced meat with finely chopped onion and fry in a frying pan until golden brown, add salt and spices.

Next, prepare the sauces for pouring. Cut the washed tomatoes in half and grate them to obtain tomato juice.

Mix it with crushed garlic.

And then evaporate over low heat for 10-15 minutes.

Next, pour the flour into the saucepan and fry it until golden brown, add a piece of butter.

Then gradually pour in warm milk. At the same time, constantly stir the bechamel with a whisk so that there are no lumps. Boil for a few minutes, add salt and spices.

Now grate the hard cheese.

Finally, the stage of assembling the dish came. Place the pita bread cut to the size of the bottom into a prepared refractory pan (oiled). If the pita bread is very thin, then you can lay it out in two layers.
Place a third of the tomato sauce on it and spread it evenly.

Next, lay out half the portion of minced meat.

Then pour half of the Bechamel sauce onto the meat.

Sprinkle with grated cheese (half) and distribute it over the surface of the sauce.

Now cover the cheese with another sheet of pita bread and repeat the order of layers.
On top I cover everything with a third layer of pita bread.
Grease with a third of the bechamel and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

Place the dish in the oven at 180 degrees for half an hour, covering the first 15 minutes with foil to prevent the cheese from burning.

Serve warm.

Recipe: “Pita bread lasagna with minced meat”

Wash the meat, trim off excess fat. Cut into small pieces. Peel the onion head and also cut into quarters. Using a meat grinder, grind into minced meat.

Add salt and ground pepper to the prepared minced meat. Mix.

Fresh tomatoes, wash, cut in half and grate on a coarse grater. You can, of course, grind them through a sieve, but I prefer it this way.

In a hot frying pan with a spoon of vegetable oil, pour the tomato pulp, add a large clove of chopped garlic. Simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Pour three tablespoons of this dressing into a small container and set aside for later.

In the meantime, you need to make bechamel sauce. To do this, pour a few tablespoons of flour into a dry frying pan and fry it lightly until golden brown. Then, add melted butter. Mix vigorously so that there are no lumps.

When the sauce reaches the correct consistency and thickens a little, remove from heat. Leave to cool.

Grind hard cheese on a coarse grater.

Add finely chopped onions to the raw minced meat. Place it in a frying pan with vegetable oil and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Next, add stewed tomatoes, fresh parsley and a few tablespoons of boiled water to the meat. Season with spices to taste. Continue cooking with the lid closed over low heat for 3 minutes.

After this time, the juicy filling for the dish will be ready. It needs to be cooled.

Now, you can form the dish itself. Thin pita bread, split each sheet in half. Place a sheet of pita bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Coat it with a few spoons of tomato and garlic dressing (which you saved earlier). Place a second sheet on top and cover it with the stewed meat and tomatoes.

Then sprinkle with grated cheese, also using only a third of it. Repeat this way for each layer of lasagna.

The last layer is a sheet of pita bread, which is poured with the remaining sauce and grated cheese. Heat the oven to 190 degrees. Bake for 20 minutes.

After this time, remove from the oven and cool slightly. Then, cut into portions, each, sprinkle with aromatic herbs.

How to cook pita lasagna with chicken

Before we begin describing the cooking process, let's make a small remark. In stores you can find a large number of varieties of pita bread, which differ in size and number of sheets.

On average, one standard-sized lasagna takes from 1 to 2 packages of pita bread, but the number of sheets varies depending on the size of the mold and its height. That is why we recommend purchasing this product with a small supply - you can always use the excess to prepare other dishes.

Preparing the filling for Italian lasagna

Making minced chicken for lasagna

If you want a fattier dish, then use meat from the drumsticks and thighs. For a more dietary dish, it is better to take sirloin.

Peel the onion and chop it into the smallest cubes, also peel the carrots and grate them on a medium grater.
Pour the oil into the frying pan and begin to fry the vegetables over low heat until the onion is golden brown.
We also add our minced meat here. We constantly knead it with a spatula to crush the pieces as much as possible.
Grind the canned tomatoes with a blender and also pour this mass into the frying pan. Add tomato paste here and mix everything well.
Salt and add seasonings, knead again and set aside for a while.

Making creamy sauce for lasagna

Heat the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Slowly add flour, stirring constantly to form flour crumbs.
Gently pour in the milk here and stir everything without interruption. Lumps are not allowed in the sauce, so we carefully monitor its uniformity.
When the mixture thickens and begins to boil a little, turn off the heat and add a little salt.
Grate the mozzarella on a coarse grater.

Assembling lasagna from pita bread and filling

Grease the bottom of the baking dish with a small amount of bechamel sauce, then place a layer of pita bread the size of the bottom of the pan.
We spread the meat filling, sprinkle with cheese, pour a little sauce on it and put the pita bread again.

We repeat all this until the filling runs out. The last layer is lavash, which we spread with the rest of the sauce and sprinkle with cheese.
Place the pan in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees. Usually 15 minutes is enough for baking, but you can focus on the degree of bakedness of the cheese.

Pour spices into the pan and add tomatoes without juice. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly.
Pour a small amount of tomato juice from a can into the baking dish. We put a sheet of pita bread here, similar to the size of the mold.
Spread a layer of meat filling, sprinkle with mozzarella and cover with a layer of pita bread.
Pour in a little juice, lay out soft cheese, which we cover again with pita bread.
Repeat until there is filling, and generously sprinkle the top layer of pita bread with grated mozzarella.
Place the pan in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 30-40 minutes.

If you don’t want the cheese on top to bake too much, then cover the pan with foil, which will need to be removed 10-15 minutes before the end of baking.

Pour oil into the frying pan, add the onion, and after frying for a few minutes, add the meat. Fry for another 5 minutes, add the mushrooms and simmer for 20 minutes.

Heat the butter in a saucepan, carefully add the flour, then pour in the milk and make a homogeneous sauce, which we turn off as soon as it boils. Season with a little pepper and salt.
Scald the tomatoes, remove the skin and the hard middle. Turn into a liquid mass using a blender or grater.
