Rice Paper Pide

Ingredients

• 10 Rice paper sheets (For 5 pide; two sheets per piece.)
• 2 Eggs
• Salt for the eggs (A pinch.)
• 500 g Ground meat (Type of meat not specified.)
• 1 Onion (Small.)
• 1 Garlic clove
• 3 EL Tomato paste (The source specifies 3–4 tbsp.)
• 1 TL Red pepper paste
• 0.5 Red bell pepper (Half a bell pepper, for the filling.)
• Parsley (Amount not specified.)
• Salt for the filling (To taste.)
• Pepper (To taste.)
• Sweet paprika (Amount not specified.)
• Sesame seeds (For decorating the edges; amount not specified.)
• Nigella seeds (For decorating the edges; amount not specified.)
• Small cherry tomatoes or bell pepper (Optional, as a topping.)
• Grated cheese (Optional, for sprinkling.)

Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the ground meat mixture by combining the ground meat, finely chopped onion, garlic, tomato paste, red pepper paste, red bell pepper, parsley, salt, pepper, and sweet paprika, and mix well.

2. 2

   Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt.

3. 3

   Briefly dip each rice paper sheet into the beaten eggs. Place two softened rice paper sheets on top of each other to form a double layer, creating five bases in total.

4. 4

   Distribute the ground meat mixture down the center of each double-layered rice paper base.

5. 5

   Fold the edges of the rice paper slightly inward to create the characteristic elongated pide shape.

6. 6

   Decorate the edges with sesame seeds and nigella seeds. If desired, add small cherry tomatoes or bell pepper, along with some grated cheese.

7. 7

   Bake the pide at 200 °C until the rice paper is golden brown and crispy. The exact baking time is not specified in the source.

8. 8

   For an especially crispy variation, briefly pan-fry the rice paper pide before baking, then finish cooking it in the oven or air fryer.

Notes

The source states a preparation time of 10 minutes but does not provide an exact baking time. The ground meat mixture is described as being prepared, without a separate cooking time specified for it. Approximately 160–190 kcal per piece are indicated; the actual value depends especially on the type of ground meat used, the amount of cheese, and the toppings.
