Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup Boiling water
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Allspice
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, psyllium husk powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and apple cider vinegar together until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well. Gradually add the boiling water while stirring until a dough forms.
Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the psyllium to absorb moisture.
For the filling, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and minced garlic, cooking until the onions are translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until it's browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
Stir in the tomato paste, cinnamon, allspice, black pepper, and lemon juice. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the flavors meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball, then flatten into a disc on the prepared baking sheet.
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the meat mixture onto the center of each disc.
Fold the sides of each disc inward to form a triangular shape, pinching the seams to seal the sfihas.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your low-carb Sfiha B Lahme!
