👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Make the dough: Mix flour, salt, and optional turmeric in a bowl. Gradually stir in warm water and oil, then knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth, elastic, and no longer sticky. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.

2. 2

   Shape: Roll the dough out thinly on a floured surface, then cut into thin, irregular strips or ribbons about 1cm wide.

3. 3

   Cook the pizokel: Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Drop the dough strips in carefully, simmer for 3–4 minutes until they float to the surface, then drain well.

4. 4

   Sauté vegetables: Heat oil or butter in a large pan. Fry onion until soft, add garlic and herbs, then cook green beans for 3–4 minutes. Add cabbage and spinach, stir until wilted and tender‑crisp.

5. 5

   Combine: Toss the cooked pizokel into the pan with the vegetables. Season generously with salt and pepper, and stir gently over low heat for 1–2 minutes to blend all flavours.

6. 6

   Serve: Top with crispy plant‑based bacon or toasted nuts if desired, and enjoy warm.
