Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Ground beef
- 4 pieces Baladi bread (or pita)
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Green bell pepper
- 1 medium Tomato
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Finely chop the onion, green bell pepper, tomato, garlic, and parsley.
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, green bell pepper, tomato, garlic, and parsley.
Add the ground black pepper, ground cumin, ground coriander, and paprika to the beef mixture, and mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Cut the baladi bread in half to form pockets. Stuff each pocket with an equal portion of the beef mixture.
Brush the outside of each filled pocket lightly with olive oil, which will help it crisp up.
Place the stuffed bread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is crispy and the beef is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your lower sodium hawawshi with a side of fresh vegetables or yogurt for a complete meal.
