Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make lazy lasagna from pita bread with minced meat in the oven? To begin, prepare all the necessary ingredients according to the list. You can use ready-made minced meat from the store or make it yourself from chicken fillet. You can also use finely chopped chicken meat. In addition to these ingredients, you can add onions to the minced meat.

Step 2

Step 2
Grate the cheese on a medium grater. You can use regular cheese, such as Russian or Gouda, or take Italian mozzarella for pizza.

Step 3

Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the minced meat and fry, stirring, for 5 minutes until the excess liquid has evaporated. If you want the minced meat with onions, first peel it, chop it finely and fry it together with the minced chicken in a frying pan.

Step 4

Step 4
During frying, add salt and pepper to the minced meat, add tomato paste and water. Mix everything carefully. You can replace tomato paste with fresh tomato, which needs to be peeled and grated on a fine grater.

Step 5

Simmer everything together in the pan for about 2-3 minutes and turn off the heat. The filling should not be dry, with enough tomato sauce necessary to soak the pita bread.

Cut the pita bread into several rectangles. Two of them should be larger than the baking dish, the rest should be slightly smaller than the baking dish.

Step 7

Place two large sheets of pita bread in a baking dish greased with vegetable oil (mine size is 16 × 20 cm) to form the bottom and sides.
