Kutabs with herbs and cottage cheese
Description
Delicious pastries for the whole family. Kutabs with herbs and cottage cheese are tasty flatbreads made from unleavened dough. For the filling, use rich, flavorful cottage cheese and different kinds of herbs. I used parsley and dill. You can also add cilantro. The dough is kneaded using flour, water, salt, and a small amount of vegetable oil. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
