📝 Preparation Steps
1
Wash the fresh tomatoes and cut them into quarters before placing them in a large pot.
2
Simmer the tomatoes over medium heat until they break down completely into a soft pulp.
3
Strain the cooked tomato mixture through a fine muslin cloth, then use a weighted press to extract every drop of concentrated juice into a wooden trough.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the extracted tomato concentrate with the honey, salt, chili flakes, rosemary, and oil.
5
Use a garlic press to incorporate the fresh garlic into the marinade and stir until the mixture is thick and uniform.
6
Score the meat deeply in a cross-hatch pattern across the entire surface to allow the marinade to penetrate the muscle fibers.
7
Apply the marinade generously, using your hands to rub the mixture deep into the scores.
8
Secure the meat onto a rotisserie spit or a specialized roasting frame.
9
Prepare a bed of hardwood coals and mount the meat over the indirect heat.
10
Roast slowly, rotating frequently and reapplying any remaining glaze every ⏱️ 30 minutes until the exterior is dark and caramelized and the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness.
11
Allow the meat to rest for at least ⏱️ 20 minutes before carving into thin slices.
12
Grate the firm cheese into a large bowl and set it aside for the filling.
13
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the wheat flour and salt.
14
Make a well in the center of the flour and add the eggs and sour cream.
15
Mix by hand until a shaggy dough forms, then knead on a clean surface until the dough is smooth and elastic.
16
Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, roughly the size of a fist.
17
Roll each ball out into a thin, wide circle.
18
Place a generous portion of the grated cheese in the center of the dough and fold the edges inward, pinching them shut to seal the cheese inside.
19
Gently roll or press the filled dough back into a flat circle, being careful not to burst the edges.
20
Heat a large skillet or flat griddle over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
21
Fry the flatbreads one by one until they are golden brown and blistered on both sides.
22
Brush the hot flatbreads with additional melted butter immediately after removing them from the heat.
23
Stack the breads to keep them warm and serve alongside the sliced roasted meat.
