Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Gluten-free flatbread
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
- 1 medium, finely chopped Tomato
- 1 medium, finely chopped Green bell pepper
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons, finely chopped Parsley
- 1 teaspoon, ground Coriander
- 1 teaspoon, ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons, melted Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef with the chopped onion, tomato, green bell pepper, and minced garlic.
Add the finely chopped parsley, ground coriander, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Divide the meat mixture into four equal portions.
Take a piece of gluten-free flatbread and generously fill half of it with one portion of the meat mixture. Fold the other half of the bread over the filling to create a pocket. Press gently to seal. Repeat for the remaining flatbreads and meat mixture.
Brush the top of each filled flatbread with melted butter to ensure a crispy finish.
Place the hawawshi on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the meat filling is cooked through.
Once baked, remove from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before cutting each pocket in half.
Serve the gluten-free hawawshi warm with a side of salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
