Ingredients

Crepe Dough

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup wheat flour
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp oil
1.5-2 cups boiling water as needed

Filling

2 cups spinach 1 bunch
½ cup feta
3 stalks chives
2 tbsp mint
2 tbsp dill
1 tbsp Lemon juice
¼ white onion
2 tbsp cilantro
2 tbsp yogurt
¼-½ cup pumpkin depending on preference
¼ cup onion chopped

Instructions

Make the Dough

Mix both types of flour together and add the salt.
Boil the water on the stove. Slowly pour the water into flour until you have a ball of dough that is wet and holds itself together but is not sticky.
Allow the dough to cool, then add the oil and knead the dough until soft. Cover and leave to rest for about half an hour.

Filling and Assembly

In a medium pan, sauté the chopped onion and the chives together.
Once translucent, add the spinach and the lemon juice and sauté until wilted. Remove from the heat and add the rest of the filling ingredients except for the pumpkin. Stir to combine.
Separate dough into quarters. Flour a surface and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a circle, flouring as necessary.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Drizzle the skillet with oil and lay the circle of dough on the skillet.
Spread pumpkin puree on one half of the dough and then layer 2 tbsp of filling on the dough. Fold the dough in half and press the edges together.
Cook until the dough becomes crispy and browned, then flip and cook the other side. Repeat until ingredients are gone.
Serve with plain yogurt as a dipping sauce on the side.
