Esfiha de Carne features a harmonious blend of savory, slightly tangy, and aromatic flavors. The ground beef filling is seasoned with spices, herbs, and often a touch of lemon or tomato, complementing the simple, slightly chewy dough.
The dominant flavor is savory from the ground beef, which is typically seasoned with a mix of spices like allspice, cumin, and sometimes a hint of cinnamon. Onions and tomatoes add sweetness and moisture. Lemon juice or a small amount of vinegar provides a crucial tanginess that balances the richness of the meat. Fresh herbs, such as parsley or mint, contribute freshness and aromatic notes. The dough itself has a mild, slightly yeasty flavor that serves as a neutral canvas for the flavorful filling.

Dough Consistency
The dough should be soft and pliable but not sticky. Allowing it to rise properly is crucial for a light and airy texture.
Filling Moisture
The filling should be moist but not excessively watery. Squeeze out excess liquid from the tomatoes and onions to prevent a soggy Esfiha.
Spice Balance
Adjust the spices to your personal preference. A pinch of cinnamon or paprika can add depth of flavor.
Lemon or Lime
Don't skip the lemon or lime juice! It's essential for brightening the flavors and cutting through the richness of the meat.
Cooking Temperature
Bake the esfihas at a high temperature to ensure a crispy crust and a well-cooked filling.
