Mediterranean Meat Pies (Sfeeha)

Ingredients

For the filling:

  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground allspice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

For the dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup water (more as needed)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onions until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  2. Add the ground meat to the pan, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cumin, allspice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in chopped parsley if using. Let the filling cool.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the olive oil and gradually mix in the water until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth.
  5. Divide the dough into small balls, about the size of a golf ball. Roll each ball into a thin circle.
  6. Place a spoonful of meat filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon and seal the edges by crimping with a fork.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy these tasty Mediterranean meat pies warm!
