Ingredient

Food ration :

6-8 servings

Cooking time :

1 hr 30 mins

2 cups

vegetable oil (for making dough sheets)

1/4 cup

cooking oil (for shallow frying)

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To make the dough, combine flour and salt and gradually add water until dough comes together in one. You may need to add a little bit more water or use less water than in the recipe above. The key is to add water gradually!

* Step 2

Knead dough until soft and pliable

* Step 3

Generously Oil a tray and set aside.

* Step 4

With the dough, make 6-8 golf sized dough balls, arrange the balls on the tray, but while you lay each ball coat them with the excess oil on the tray. Cover and allow to rest for 15-20 minutes

* Step 5

In the meantime, make the meat filling.

* Step 6

In a saucepan, add a tbls of vegetable oil and cook the garlic until golden, add in the minced meat and salt and mix well to combine. Allow the meat to cook through.

* Step 7

Before turning off the heat, add in the onions, lemon juice and cilantro. Mix to combine and immediately turn heat off. Set meat aside to cool

* Step 8

Once the meat cools down, add beaten eggs and mix to combine

* Step 9

To assemble the mutabaq: Generously oil your work surface (i usually scoop the oil with the fingers onto my work surface), take one ball and spread with your fingers until the dough is very thin (it will look translucent). In order to avoid the dough layer from tearing apart while you are spreading it, you have to be generous with the oil. Don’t worry if holes form on the dough sheet, simply tear tiny pieces off the sides and fill the holes.

* Step 10

Once the dough is spread out, scoop 2-3 tbls of the minced meat mixture to the middle of the dough sheet. Begin to wrap the mutabaq by turning each of side of the dough sheet to the middle, until all sides are tightly turned in.

* Step 11

Over high heat, in a flat pan, cook the mutabaq for 3-4 minutes on each side, until the sides brown.

* Step 12

Set aside on a plate. Continue with steps 9,10 and 11 until all dough balls are used up

* Step 13

In a shallow frying pan, add 1/4 cup of cooking oil and fry the mutabaq until golden brown all over. You can also opt to airfry/oven grill for a healthier alternative.
