    For Filling:

    • 250g ground beef or lamb

    • 1 small onion, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare filling: Sauté onion in olive oil until soft. Add garlic, then beef, and cook until browned. Season with allspice, salt, pepper, and sumac. Stir in parsley. Cool mixture.

  2. Make outer dough: Mix ground meat with almond flour, coconut flour, egg, and spices. Let rest for 5 minutes.

Notes

  • Use lamb for more traditional flavor.
