These savoury Turkish turnovers were prepared on the Big Pig using some cast iron pans and the Flat BBQ Plates. The dough is super simple and it’s easy to make a few different filling variations during the same cook as ingredients will cross over from one to the other.
GOZLEME DOUGH
(This recipe will make eight gozlemes)
INGREDIENTS
For the Steak:
4 x inch thick scotch fillet steaks
Generous amount Ozpig Pork and Beef Rub (I used these together)
2 tablespoons olive oil (generous amount to drizzle over steak before frying)
For the Rice:
2 cups basmati rice
3/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron threads
2 tablespoons boiling-hot water
1 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
½ red onion5 garlic cloves
3 cups chicken stock
cup dried currants
1 lime & ½ lemon for rind and juice
½ lime and ½ lemon for garnish
4 teaspoons sour cream
1 teaspoon salt
Ground pepper to taste
Method:
- Prepare Ozpig Big Pig or Series 2 for cooking. Season scotch fillets with Ozpig Pork and Beef Rubs. Allow to rest for 1 hour till at room temperature.
- Prepare vegetables – peel and crush garlic, peel and dice onion, chop herbs, slice capsicum. Zest and juice 1 lime and half a lemon (set aside)
- Place ¾ tsp of saffron into a small measuring jug, add 2 tablespoons of boiling-hot water and allow to stand for 10 minutes.
- Heat oil in a cast iron pot at medium heat. Add butter, garlic, onion and stir for a few minutes to soften.
- Add rice, stirring through, add saffron liquid, raisins and stock, salt and pepper and stir through, cover with lid or foil.
- Place the cast iron pot in the belly of Ozpig, carefully moving the pot around in the coals every 5 minutes. Cook for 10 -12 min, remove pot and place on the OzPig flat plate. Open lid and drizzle in lemon/ lime juice and rind, return lid and finish cooking 5 - 8 minutes till rice has just cooked through.
- To cook the steak, have at room temperature, drizzle with oil. Ensure grill plate is sizzling hot. Use tongs to place steak down on one side cooking for 5 – 7 minutes, then turn once and cook for another 5 – 7 minutes. Remove onto butchers paper and wrap, allow to rest for 10 minutes, slice and drizzle with chopped herbs, lemon and lime segments and drizzle with lime juice.
- Enjoy the steak drizzled with lime and with saffron rice & sour cream.
Additional notes:
Can coat steaks with rub and chill overnight.
Allow 1 hour for coals to form if cooking the rice in a cast iron pan in the belly of OzPig Big Pig. If making stock using stock powder follow the packet instructions.
Additional vegetables or slivered almonds can be added to the rice as desired.
A trivet can be put under the cast iron pot when in the belly of the Ozpig or when cooking on the flat plate.
