The calorie content of a snack made from pita bread with red fish and curd cheese is approximately 197.4 kcal per 100 g. This indicator is relevant if the treat is prepared according to the classic recipe and from only 3 main components. Each additional ingredient will increase the calorie content of the dish. To make the snack lighter, you can add a thin layer of curd cheese in it, and also increase the amount of vegetables in the filling. For example, lay the base with lettuce leaves, Chinese cabbage, add fresh cucumbers, and a lot of greens.

- A dough recipe that has been proven over the years. The inside of these profiteroles is completely empty. The most important thing is to correctly guess the consistency of the dough. It should be thicker than on pancakes.
- You need to beat in the eggs one at a time, and until the previous one is completely combined with the dough, don’t beat in the new one! We used 2 large eggs and the yolk from the third.
- To prepare the dough we will need the products indicated in the list.
- Pour water into a ladle, add butter and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
- Without removing from the stove, turn the heat to low, add all the flour at once and mix very quickly with a wooden or silicone spatula.

- Our dough is ready. We transfer it into a pastry bag with a round or star tip or into a syringe and place small products on a baking sheet covered with baking paper. You can do this with a spoon.
- Place in an oven preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for 15 minutes. Do not open the oven - the dough may settle. During this time, the products should brown slightly and grow well. Then reduce the temperature to 160 degrees and leave in the oven for another 15 minutes. We turn off the gas, open the door slightly and do not remove it for another 5 minutes.
- Let's start preparing the filling. For it we will need the products indicated in the list.

Lavash with red fish and curd cheese is often complemented with herbs. Especially if you are preparing for a holiday and need to look as bright and appetizing as possible. So, fresh dill goes well with the filling discussed. It improves both the appearance and taste of the treat.

The cooking process includes several stages:

- The rest of the cucumbers must be cut into thin long cubes or slices.
- Wide pita bread needs to be spread on the table, after which it should be thickly coated with curd cheese. The latter should be evenly distributed over the entire surface.

- The last thing to sprinkle on the filling is chopped dill. The more of it there is, the more pronounced the taste of the treat will be.
All that remains is to cover the snack with cling film, in the process tightly rolling it up in the form of a roll, and put it in a cool place for a couple of hours. During this time, the base will become more elastic, and the treat will be easy to cut into neat portioned pieces.

Lavash with red fish and curd cheese is often supplemented by chefs with fresh vegetables and herbs. For example, these ingredients go well with crispy lettuce leaves.
It is better to choose the latter in a large size. Then it is especially convenient to lay them on the base.
Composition of ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- Armenian lavash (thin) – 1 pc.;
- red fish (lightly salted) – 170-200 g;

Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- To begin with, you need to carefully cut off the skin of the fish and remove all the bones you encounter. You need to try to choose even the smallest ones so that they do not spoil the taste of the finished snack.
- The remaining clean fillet must be cut into neat wide pieces. Their thickness is selected to taste. It is desirable that the fish covers almost the entire surface of the pita bread.
- All greens should be washed and dried. For example, dill will fit well into a treat. You will need to chop it finely and mix it with cottage cheese. Any other greens to your taste will do.
- Lettuce leaves can be left whole or roughly torn directly with your hands.
- The lavash base must be spread on a horizontal surface, after which it must be thoroughly coated with curd cheese and herbs.
- You need to lay lettuce leaves on top of the cheese layer, and also distribute the fish pieces evenly. Layers of fish and herbs can be swapped, this does not affect the taste of the finished dish.
- Next, the pita bread needs to be rolled into a tight, tight roll, wrapped in film and refrigerated for a couple of hours. This is necessary so that the base is saturated and the flavors of the filling “make friends” with each other.
When the appetizer has cooled sufficiently, it can be served.
How to serve a dish

Composition of ingredients
For the dish you need to take:
- lightly salted fish (clean fillet) – 200-230 g;
- Armenian lavash – 1 piece;
- curd cheese - 1 full glass;
- avocado – 1 pc.;
- fresh herbs – 80-90 g.
Step-by-step cooking process
The cooking process includes several stages:
- It is convenient to cut fish fillets without removing the flesh from the skin - with a sharp knife into thin slices. During the grinding process, it is also worth choosing all the bones that come across from the piece so that they do not end up in the filling.
- Dill needs to be thoroughly washed, dried, rough stems cut out, and then finely chopped.
- The pita bread must be removed from the packaging and spread on the table. If it has uneven or already dried hard edges, they should be cut off, giving the workpiece a neat rectangular shape.
- Next, you need to distribute soft curd cheese over the base. It should be spread on the pita bread in an even and not too thick layer. It is convenient to do this with a butter knife.
- Place fish pieces on top of the spread cheese. If there is not much of it, you can simply chop the fillet into miniature cubes and scatter on top.
- The avocado for such a snack must be soft enough, otherwise it will not be suitable for a treat. The fruit must be cut in half, the pit removed, and the skin removed.
- The remaining oily avocado pulp should be cut into thin slices and placed on top of the filling. All that remains is to cover everything with chopped dill.
- The resulting structure must be rolled into a tight roll, starting from either side. But it is better to do this in such a way that the pieces of filling are placed parallel to the side being folded. Then they will stay inside the treat better.
You should not serve the dish right away; it is better to first cover it with cling film and put it in a cool place. This appetizer can be prepared even in the evening and left for the holiday table the next day.
How to serve a dish
Before serving, cut the roll into portions. The thickness of each should be approximately 1 cm. If the treat is planned to be served at the holiday table, then you can cut it diagonally. Next, the pieces of roll should be placed on a platter, cut side up, and served. You can decorate the appetizer with black olives - whole or halved.
