How to Make Feteer Bel Asaag Pastry With Ground Meat

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin circle (about 8 inches in diameter).
In a skillet, brown the ground meat over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more.
Add the diced tomatoes and parsley. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place one pastry circle on a baking sheet. Spoon a portion of the meat filling onto the center. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Crimp the edges to seal. Brush the top with olive oil.
Repeat with the remaining pastry circles and filling.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
