Mutabbaq

Mutabbaq are savory pastry parcels, crisp on the outside and packed with a spiced ground meat filling. The meat cooks down with garlic, ginger, and a blend of warm spices like cumin and allspice, then gets mixed with fresh tomato, spring onion, and an egg to bind it. Wrapped in buttery filo, these parcels can be quickly pan-fried or baked until they turn a deep golden brown. They're excellent as a snack or a light meal.
