This recipe comes from one of my cookbooks, Use it All. They are my version of gozleme and I've been making them for dinner for years. They're adaptable, using up whatever greens, herbs, and cheeses you have in the fridge. I love this interpretation because everything goes into the pocket uncooked, making it a quick and easy dinner.

If it’s the weekend, make the simple yoghurt dough, but on a weeknight just pick up a pack of Greek pitas (the thicker, doughy sort) or souvlaki bread on the way home from work.

Make the spiced onion (optional), by combining the ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Working with one ball of dough at a time, roll the dough into 15 cm circles.

To assemble, spread 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture over half of each dough circle (or pita bread) and scatter 2-3 teaspoons of the spiced onion mixture (if using) on top.

Add ½ cup of the and mixture, then fold the dough over to make a semicircle.

If using homemade dough, pinch the edges to seal. If using pita, wet your hands and dampen the outside of each pocket and fold the pita in half.

Heat the in a frying pan over medium low heat.

Working in batches, pan-fry the pockets for 3 minutes each side, until golden brown. You can also brush each pocket with and grill them on the barbecue.

Serve with a squeeze of and a salad if you can be bothered, but there's so many greens inside you hardly need to.

Yum, what a great way to use kale. A healthy vegetable that my child-like brain doesn't want to enjoy. I didn't do the optional onion; however I did add garlic and onion salt to the mix. And to be honest, I mixed the cheeses and greens together in one bowl.

My family loves this recipe, tend to use what we have, also leftovers are easily and deliciously reheated in a sandwich press.
