Preparing the Beef Fataya Filling

1. Cook the Beef

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sauté until the onion becomes translucent.

2. Add Vegetables

Stir in the grated carrot and diced green bell pepper, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they soften.

3. Season the Mixture

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Sprinkle cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes.

4. Cool the Filling

Once cooked, remove from heat and let the mixture cool while you prepare the pastry.

Assembling the Beef Fataya

5. Prepare the Pastry

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.

6. Fill the Pastry

Cut the pastry sheets into squares or circles, depending on your preference. Place a spoonful of the cooled beef filling in the center of each piece.

7. Seal the Edges

Fold the pastry over to create a pocket and seal the edges with a fork or by pinching them together.

8. Bake the Fataya

Place the filled fatayas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
