Meat-Filled Esfiha
Meat-Filled Esfiha
Esfiha is a popular Middle Eastern pastry that is typically stuffed with meat, cheese, spinach, or other fillings. They are usually shaped like triangles or half-moons and can be baked or fried.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or lamb
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon pomegranate syrup (or lemon juice)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 batch pizza dough
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the ground meat, onion, garlic, parsley, tomato paste, pomegranate syrup, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into circles using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a drinking glass.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the meat mixture onto each circle of dough.
- Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching the edges together to seal the esfiha.
- Place the esfiha on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the filling is cooked through.
