You will need: Parsley, cilantro, salt, black pepper, dill, red peppers, 1 pound lean ground beef, 1 medium tomato, 1 small onion, Greek yogurt,
Instructions:
- 1 cup mixed fresh herbs parsley, cilantro, and dill
- 1 medium tomato deseeded and finally chopped
- 1 small red pepper diced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- In a mixing bowl add a small chopped onion to the ground beef
- In a mixing bowl add a small chopped onion to the ground beef add 2/3 of red pepper, fresh herbs, and tomato to the bowl. Reserve the rest for garnishing at the end
- Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then mix everything together until well combined
- Add 2/3 cup plain yogurt. I like to use Greek yogurt for this recipe
- Mix the yogurt in until it’s well incorporated. If you have time, cover the bowl with plastic and refrigerate it for an hour for all the flavors to marinate
- Now unpack your Phyllo dough. You will need eight full sheets for this recipe. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter and mix it with 2 tablespoons oil and let’s get rolling!
- Drizzle and brush each sheet generously with the butter oil mixture
- Repeat brushing and stacking the eight sheets on top of each other
- When you reach the eighth sheet, transfer the meat filling and spread it evenly on top
- Now carefully roll the Phyllo into a log
- Brush it generously with the butter oil mixture
- Now let’s prepare the egg wash
- Beat one egg with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Add 3 tablespoons of yogurt and mix it with the beaten egg
- Add 1/2 cup of milk and mix
- Brush the Phyllo roll with the egg wash
- Drizzle the remaining butter on top and brush it to spread it evenly to cover the top and sides of the roll
- If you’d like you can sprinkle some sesame seeds on top
- Bake in a 350°F preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the Phyllo roll is light golden in color
- Once out of the oven garnish the top with the diced tomato, red pepper and fresh herbs
- Enjoy!
