Method
- 1
Mix the semolina and plain flour with a pinch of salt, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and enough warm water (about 150ml) to form a soft, pliable dough. Knead for 5 minutes, then rest for 15 minutes.
- 2
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a pan and cook the onions for 8 minutes until soft, then add the beef mince and cook, breaking it up, for 6-7 minutes until no pink remains.
- 3
Stir in the garlic, tomato puree and paprika and cook for 2 minutes. Leave to cool slightly.
- 4
Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll each out very thinly on an oiled surface, then spoon the filling into the centre and fold the edges over to enclose it into a square parcel.
- 5
Heat a dry frying pan or griddle over a medium heat and cook the parcels for 3-4 minutes each side, until golden and crisp. Serve hot.
