How to Prepare Mutabbaq with Rqaq:

1. Preparing the Filling:

   • Add the chopped onions and sauté, stirring occasionally until softened.
   • Add the finely chopped bell pepper and diced potatoes. Stir the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined.

3. Assembling the Mutabbaq:

   • Place a small amount of the filling mixture in the center of the dough.
   • Fold the dough over the filling to form a square shape.
   • Repeat this process with the remaining dough and filling until all the ingredients are used.

4. Cooking the Mutabbaq:

   • Brush the top of each filled square with the beaten egg yolk.
   • Lightly grease a non-stick pan with some oil and heat it over low heat.
   • Place the folded dough squares into the pan, cooking until they are golden and crispy on one side, then flip and cook the other side.

5. Serving:
