Transform your favorite comfort food into a guilt-free indulgence with this Whole30 Cheburek recipe—an inspired take on the classic Eastern European street food, reimagined for healthy eaters. This gluten-free and grain-free version features a delicate dough made from almond flour, coconut flour, and arrowroot powder, perfectly encasing a savory filling of seasoned ground beef, onions, and garlic. Pan-fried in golden coconut oil, these crispy hand pies deliver a satisfying crunch while adhering to the Whole30 guidelines. Perfect as a hearty lunch or a fun appetizer, this recipe combines tradition with wholesome ingredients, making it a flavorful addition to your clean eating routine.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot powder, and coconut flour. Mix well to incorporate the flours together.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and water until thoroughly combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead slightly until the dough is smooth. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.
Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue to cook until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Season the meat mixture with salt, black pepper, and ground cumin. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Allow to cool slightly.
Divide the rested dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.
On a piece of parchment paper, flatten each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter, using a rolling pin.
Place a few tablespoons of the beef mixture on one half of each dough circle, leaving room around the edges.
Carefully fold the other half of the dough over the filling to create a half moon shape. Seal the edges by pressing down with a fork.
Heat coconut oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, gently add the chebureks to the pan. Cook each side for 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30 chebureks!
