Italian lasagna with béchamel sauce and Armenian thin lavash - a symbiosis of different cuisines of the world creates an international hearty and tasty dish. Although in the culinary world, it is quite common for one national cuisine to penetrate into another. But in this recipe it is still not clear whether the lavash has penetrated into the lasagna, or the lavash has been "attached" to the lavash …
To make lazy lasagna really tasty, there are some rules to follow. So, the Armenian lavash should be given time to pre-soak with the sauce. Otherwise, it may dry out in the oven, become dry and brittle. Classic lasagne uses béchamel sauce. However, instead of it, it is allowed to mix cream, sour cream, kefir, eggs, fermented baked milk, spices … and the sauce is ready. Favorite products, both meat and vegetable, are used for the filling. In addition, there is fruit lavash lasagna, where cottage cheese is used with sweet fruits. It is better to use ceramic or heat-resistant glass dishes for cooking. A thin-walled deck will not work as the pita bread will become dry. The amount of food depends on the size of the mold in which the lasagna will be cooked and on the number of layers. This recipe specifies products for a mold with a diameter of 30-20 cm and 3 layers of the dish.

Cooking lavash lasagna
1. Wash the meat, if necessary, remove excess fat and film. Cut it into small pieces, or pass it through a meat grinder. If you cut it, the meat filling will feel better.

4. When the meat is golden brown add onions to it.
5. Continue to fry food, reducing heat to medium.
6. After 5-7 minutes of frying, put chopped dill, tomatoes, garlic, tomato paste, salt, pepper and any spices and herbs into the pan.
7. Stir the food and simmer over low heat with the lid closed for about 6 minutes.
8. For the sauce, pour the sour cream into the pan, add salt and spices.
9. Stir and heat the sauce for 2-3 minutes, then pour in the egg and mix well quickly. Remove the skillet from the stove to prevent the egg from curdling.

11. Place an even layer of meat filling on it.
