Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground beef
- 1 large Red onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 loaves Pita bread
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Finely chop the red onion, red bell pepper, and tomato, and mince the garlic cloves. Set these aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, bell pepper, tomato, minced garlic, and parsley.
Add the ground cumin, ground coriander, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to the beef mixture. Mix well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Slice each pita loaf into halves to create pockets.
Gently open each pita half and stuff generously with the spiced beef mixture.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Place the stuffed pita halves in the skillet, pressing them slightly to flatten and brown them lightly on both sides. Cook in batches if necessary.
Once browned, place the filled pitas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops lightly with the remaining olive oil.
Bake the stuffed pitas in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is fully cooked and the pitas are crisp.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your dairy-free hawawshi warm, perhaps with a side of salad or tahini sauce.
