Triangles with Meat and Greek Sauce

Dough: To start preparing, mix the white flour with a pinch of salt in a large bowl, ensuring that the ingredients are well combined. Then, add 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil, which will give the dough a fine and pleasant texture. Gradually pour in warm water, little by little, mixing constantly until the dough starts to come together. It is essential to knead the dough for about 10-15 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. After the dough has been kneaded, wrap it in plastic wrap and leave it in the fridge for 2 hours to rest and firm up.

Filling: Start by sautéing the chopped onion and garlic in 3 tablespoons of sunflower oil over medium heat. It is important to stir constantly to prevent burning until they become translucent and aromatic. Then, add the chopped sorrel and diced bell pepper. These ingredients will add freshness to the filling. Once the vegetables have softened, add your favorite spices, such as pepper and paprika, and then deglaze with lemon juice to intensify the flavors. Add the diced meat along with 150 ml of water, and let it simmer without a lid until all the water evaporates and the meat becomes tender. Finally, incorporate the broth and let the filling cool completely.

Assembly: The rested dough is divided into two equal parts. Each part is rolled out with a rolling pin into a rectangular sheet of about 20x42 cm, and from each sheet, strips of 20x6 cm are cut. This will yield approximately 14 strips. At the upper end of each strip, place a teaspoon of filling. The edges of the dough are folded diagonally over the filling, forming a triangle, which is then folded diagonally to the end. The last side is brushed with beaten egg white to ensure it sticks. The triangles can be browned in hot oil or brushed with egg yolk and baked in the oven at medium heat until golden and appetizing.

Sauce: In a bowl, grate a fresh cucumber, sprinkle it with a little salt, and let it sit for 10 minutes to release its juice. After it has sat, squeeze the cucumber well to remove the excess water, and then mix it with thick yogurt and a clove of garlic pressed through a garlic press. The sauce should be kept in the fridge until serving to cool and blend the flavors. Finally, it can be garnished with diced red pepper and fresh herbs for a colorful and appetizing appearance. This dish will surely bring a touch of joy to your table, being ideal for any occasion!
