What it is
The folded meat pie of the Hijaz: a thin crepe-like wrapper folded around spiced minced beef, leeks and egg, pan-fried crisp — Jeddah's Ramadan street star. Ingredients: thin dough sheets (or spring-roll wrappers), minced beef, leeks, tomatoes, eggs, cumin, black pepper, coriander, oil for frying; tahini or chile sauce to serve. Recipe: 1) Cook mince with leeks, tomato and spices; cool. 2) Lay a wrapper; spread filling; crack an egg over (in the classic style) or mix egg in. 3) Fold into a neat square parcel. 4) Fry until crisp and blistered. Serve: hot at night markets, with lemon and hot sauce. Flavor: crisp, juicy, leek-sweet. History: mutabbaq came through Yemeni and Southeast Asian currents into Hijazi ports — its cousin murtabak rules Malaysia's mamak stalls. See also: Kabsa, Saleeg.
