Prevrnuta Pita sa Lukom i Piletinom
2 veca jajeta
1 k soli
3-4 K maslinovog ulja (ili otopljeni maslac)
1/4 k crnog cibera, mljevenog
1 solja tecnog jogurta ili mlacenice
1/2 solje integralnog brasna
1 1/2 solja samodizajuceg brasna
mlijeko (ili voda) po potrebi
2 k ulja (ili maslaca) za posudu za pecenje
1 crveni luk, izrezan
300-400 g pileceg mesa (od karabatka), rezano na kocke, zasoljeno
lisce persuna i/ili ljuspice paprike za posuti
 Nacin:
Ukljucite rernu (180-190*C), stavite posudu za pecenje u nju (koristila sam veci model za kruh).
Isjecite luk i piletinu, zacinite. Kada je rerna zagrijana, ubacite ulje/ maslac na dno posude i protresite. Stavite luk na dno, zatim preko piletinu. Vratite u rernu na 10-ak minuta. U medjuvremenu izmijesajte sve sastojke za pitu. Kada je piletina promijenila boju, prelijte tijesto preko nje (treba da ima konzistenciju tijesta za deblje / Americke palacinke) i pecite jos 20-25 minuta. Ostavite 5-10 minuta da odstoji nakon pecenja, te prevrnite na posluzavnik. Mozete koristiti i papir za obloziti model, kako biste lakse oslobodili pitu nakon pecenja. Pospite persunom ili chilijem i uzivajte.
