Delicious kuttabs with cheese and herbs
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Kutabs are pastries made from thin dough with various fillings, fried on a dry skillet, then brushed with butter. However, they also turn out delicious when simply fried in vegetable oil, like regular pastries. The dough is incredibly tender, the filling tasty and juicy. By the way, don't overfill the kutabs—everything should be in moderation. I ended up with 8 large pastries. Give it a try! Serve with tea or coffee.
