طريقة التحضير

1. Mix the flour and salt, rub in the lard, then add warm water and knead into a smooth dough. Rest it covered for 30 minutes.
2. Finely chop the onions and cook them in olive oil until soft. Add the beef, paprika, cumin, and salt, and cook until the meat is browned and the filling is moist but not watery. Cool completely.
3. Chop the olives and hard-boiled eggs and fold them into the cooled filling.
4. Divide the dough into rounds, place a spoonful of filling in the center of each, and fold and pinch the edges firmly to seal.
5. Brush the tops with beaten egg yolk and bake at 200°C until golden, about 20 minutes.
