Hawawshi

Baladi bread stuffed with spiced minced meat and baked.

Ingredients

• 4 Flatbread
• 600 g Ground beef
• 2 Onions
• 1 Bell pepper
• ½ cup Parsley
• 2 Green chili
• 1 tbsp Baharat spice mix
• 1 tbsp Tomato paste
• 3 tbsp Ghee
• 2 tsp Salt

Method

1. Make the filling — Mix the raw beef with finely chopped onion, pepper, parsley, chili, baharat and salt.
2. Fill the bread — Open each flatbread and spread the raw filling thinly and evenly inside.
3. Brush — Coat the outside with ghee so it crisps rather than dries.
4. Bake hot — Cook at 220°C for 25 minutes, turning once, until the bread crisps and the meat cooks through.
5. Hawawshi is ready — Cut into wedges and serve with tahini and pickles.
