Dough

Method

Preparing the Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté the Onions

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 10-12 minutes.

  2. 2

    Season the Filling

    Add salt, black pepper, and paprika to the sautéed onions. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Assembling the Mheachalls

  1. 3

    Prepare the Phyllo Dough

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll the phyllo dough and lay it flat on a clean surface. Keep it covered with a damp cloth to prevent it from drying out.

  2. 4

    Layer the Dough

    Take one sheet of phyllo dough and brush it lightly with melted butter. Place another sheet on top and brush it again with butter. Repeat this process until you have 3 layers.

  3. 5

    Fill the Dough

    Place a tablespoon of the cooled onion filling at one end of the layered phyllo dough. Fold the sides over the filling and roll it up tightly to form a small cylinder. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Baking the Mheachalls

  1. 6

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the rolled mheachalls seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with more melted butter.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
