Lebanese cuisine is absolutely mouthwatering ... it's difficult finding a dish that isn't delicious!
One of my favorite yummy things are pastries called Sfiha or some like to call them Lahm Bi Ajin, which translates into meat with pastry!
These make a great snack or soup accompaniment!
I guarantee that if you try this, you'll fall in love with it!

1 kg (5 cups) plain flour

For the dough, mix all the dry ingredients then add the water & knead until it forms a ball.
Put in a bowl & cover & let sit in a warm place for two hours.
For the filling, mix meat, tomatoes, onion and spices. Add yogurt & sesame paste. Mix all with fried pine nuts. Add butter & mix more.
Divide dough into walnut size balls. Roll between hand palms to smooth.
Roll out balls with a rolling pin to form 8 cm diameter circles. Put one tbsp of meat mixture on dough circle.
Bring the edges up and press to make a square.

Bon appetite!
