Hawawshi

Experience the vibrant flavors of Egyptian cuisine with Hawawshi, a delightful blend of spiced ground beef stuffed in warm pita bread. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a lively gathering with friends.

• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 large onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 pieces pita bread

Method

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

2. 2

   Take one piece of pita bread and open it to create a pocket. Stuff it generously with the meat mixture, ensuring it's well-filled but not overstuffed to prevent tearing.

3. 3

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

4. 4

   Place the stuffed pita bread on a baking sheet and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden and the meat is cooked through.

5. 5

   Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before cutting the Hawawshi into halves or quarters.

6. 6

   Serve hot with a side of tahini sauce or salad, if desired.
