- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 300 min
- Makes: 1 serving (205 g)
- Difficulty: Easy
- Diets: Vegan, Gluten-free, Dairy-free
Ingredients
- 200 g Plums, raw
- 5 g Sugar
- 0.3 g Salt
Method
- Pit the plums and puree them in a blender with the sugar until completely smooth.
- Taste and adjust with a tiny pinch of salt to sharpen the tartness, which is traditional for lavashak.
- Line a baking tray with parchment or a silicone mat and spread the puree in a very thin, even layer.
- Dry in the oven at its lowest setting, around 60-70 °C (140-160 °F), propping the door open slightly, for 5-6 hours until it's no longer tacky and peels away from the liner in one sheet.
- Cool completely, then roll up or cut into strips to eat as a chewy, tangy snack.
