Ingredients

• Almond flour - 200g
• Psyllium husk - 2 tbsp
• Salt - 1/2 tsp
• Warm water - 150ml
• Olive oil - 2 tbsp
• Egg - 1 large
• Spinach - 100g, chopped
• Feta cheese - 100g, crumbled
• Black olives - 50g, pitted and chopped
• Cumin - 1/2 tsp
• Paprika - 1/2 tsp
• Black pepper - 1/4 tsp

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, salt, and warm water. Mix until a dough forms and let it rest for 10 minutes.
2. In another bowl, whisk the egg, then add chopped spinach, feta cheese, black olives, cumin, paprika, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
3. Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle.
4. Heat a pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place the first dough circle in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
5. Remove the cooked flatbread from the pan and place a portion of the filling in the center. Fold the edges over the filling to create a parcel.
6. Return the filled msemmen to the pan and cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
7. Serve warm, drizzled with a little more olive oil if desired.
