Hawawshi
Hawawshi is a crispy Egyptian dish that consists of minced meat, usually beef or lamb, mixed with various spices like cumin, coriander, and pepper.
Ingredients
- 10 Aish Baladi Can replace with a thick pita bread
- 2 lb Ground Beef
- 1 Small Tomato
- 1 Red Pepper
- 1 Yellow Pepper
- 1 Green Pepper
- 1/2 cup Parsley
- 1 Small Onion
- 3 Cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp Coriander
- 2 tbsp Cumin
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Allspice
- Samna (clarified butter) Can replace with ghee or butter
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Blend all veggies in a food processor together (tomato, peppers, parsley, onion, garlic). Then add it to a sperate bowl.
- An optional step is to blend the meat in the food processor. You can skip this step and add the veggies directly to the meat if you would like.
- Make sure when the veggies are added you don’t add too much of the juices from the veggie mix.
- Once meat and veggies are blended add in the spices.
- Cut the bread in half and add meat into the pocket. You can make it thick or thin depending on your preference.
- Spread samna (ghee) on the outside of the pita bread.
- Heat up skillet on medium heat. Once heated add samna and hawawshi. Keep an eye out to make sure it doesn’t burn.
Notes
This recipe is fool proof. You can add or subtract ingredients as you like. Try not to put too much moisture in the meat. You will want to add the veggies seperately.
