Preparation
-
For the filling:
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 oz ground meat
- 1 small yellow onion ( finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 bunch of fresh parsley ( finely chopped)Preparing the filling:
Put olive oil in a skillet. Saute the onions over medium heat until they turn pink. Add ground meat and salt, cook for 7-8 minutes stirring occasionally. Add chopped parsley and remove from the heat. Set aside to cool down.
Mix egg white, yogurt, olive oil, baking powder, and salt in a big bowl. Add flour slowly. You can mix them using your hands. It requires a bit of kneading until you obtain a nonsticky dough.

Preheat the oven to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.

Take a small piece from the dough and flatten it in your palm. Put a teaspoon of the ground meat mixture in it and close it from the edges. Do the same for the rest of the dough.

Place them on a greased baking pan and brush the egg yolk on top of each roll. Sprinkle the black cumin on top and bake for 30-35 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Bon Appetit!
