Steps:
-
Put the water, broth and oil in a bowl and mix well. Spread the dough and moisten the dough thoroughly with this mixture.
-
Fold the dough in half to form a half moon. Apply oily water to the upper surface. Divide it into 4 equal parts to form a triangle. Prepare the other phyllo in the same way.
-
For the stuffing, chop the onion finely. Put the olive oil in a pan and heat it. Fry the onions until they turn pink.
-
Add minced meat to the roasted onions. Roast by mashing until the water is absorbed.
-
Put the fine bulgur into a bowl, add enough hot water to cover it by 1 finger, and set it aside to swell.
-
Add the swollen bulgur to the roasted ground meat and continue roasting for another 1-2 minutes. Add salt and pepper and season to taste. Finally, add finely chopped parsley and walnuts and mix.
-
Cool the stuffing. Divide equally on the wide sides of the triangles. Roll it by folding it 1-2 cm from the edge and turning it upwards. Wet the end with oily water and close it.
-
For the breading, break the eggs into a bowl and beat well. Heat the sunflower oil in a deep frying pan. Coat the hunter pastries first in egg and then in breadcrumbs, fry them upside down until they get a golden color, and then put them on paper towels.
-
After preparing the pastries, you can also prepare them by placing them on a greased or baking paper-lined tray and baking them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
-
You can serve the fried pastries warm by dividing them in half diagonally. Enjoy your meal!
