Cooking Steps

DOUGH

  3. Remove from bowl and knead on a countertop until smooth.

FILLING

  1. In a large frying pan, heat the oil or olive oil.
  2. Caramelize the meat quickly (if necessary, do this process two or three times, so that the meat does not release water).
  3. Reserve the meat and in the same frying pan add the butter and let it melt.
  4. Add the cumin, oregano, chili pepper and paprika and let them fry quickly.
  5. Add the onion and fry quickly, without browning.
  6. Mix the onion into the reserved meat. Add salt, pepper, eggs, olives and raisins.
  7. Place the filling in the refrigerator to cool thoroughly (1 to 2 hours).

ASSEMBLY

  1. Divide the dough in half, each half into four parts and each part into 3.
  2. Form 24 balls with the pieces.
  3. Knead each ball with your hand and finish rolling it out with a rolling pin until you get a circle approximately 13 cm in diameter.
  4. Place the filling in the center of each circle and brush the edges with water. Close as you like.
  5. Brush with yolk beaten with a little milk.
  6. Bake in a strong preheated oven (260ºC) for 10 to 15 minutes.
