Alexandrian Hawawshi

 

  • Ready-made puff pastry dough (amount needed)
  • 500 grams of ground beef

  • 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • ¼ teaspoon of black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of ground cardamom

  • ¼ cup of green bell pepper, diced

How to Prepare Alexandrian Hawawshi:

  1. In a deep pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and the diced bell peppers. Stir the mixture until the vegetables soften.

  2. Add the ground beef to the pan, stirring it until it cooks through.

  3. Season with black pepper, ground cardamom, and salt. Mix well to combine.

  4. Remove the pan from heat and let the filling cool.

  5. Divide the dough into two halves and roll each half out on a floured surface to prevent sticking.

  6. Grease a baking tray with some oil. Place the first half of the dough evenly on the bottom of the tray.

  7. Spread the cooled filling evenly over the first layer of dough.

  8. Roll out the second half of the dough and place it over the filling, ensuring it covers the entire surface.

  9. Brush the top of the dough with melted butter (as needed).

  10. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Once the oven reaches the desired temperature, place the tray in the oven and bake until the Hawawshi is cooked through and golden brown.

  11. Remove from the oven and cut the Hawawshi into triangles or any shape you prefer.

  12. Serve the Alexandrian Hawawshi hot to your family or guests, and enjoy its delicious taste!
