Yield
4 servings

Ingredients

4 servings
  • 450 grams ground beef (or any ground meat)
  • 1 grated onion (food processed into a paste with 1 tsp water)
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons sweet paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ cup yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 ½ tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F.

  2. Add the ground meat to a bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well.

  3. Divide the meat mixture in half.

  4. Take a sheet of parchment paper and place one half of the mixture in the middle.

  5. Note: Keep a small bowl of water (or oil) nearby to dip your fingers — it helps keep the meat from sticking. Press and spread the meat into a thin, even rectangle. Repeat this step for the second portion of meat.

  6. Starting from the long side, fold the parchment over the meat repeatedly until you reach the end and it looks like a flat rope. Place the meat rolled in parchment on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) until cooked through, about 40 minutes.

  7. Remove from the oven, let the rolls cool slightly, then carefully unroll and break the meat apart.

  8. Squeeze a touch of fresh lemon juice over the top and pop it back in the oven until lightly golden and slightly crisp.
