To prepare this delicious recipe, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need flour, water, salt, oil, onion, meat (it can be pork, beef, or chicken, depending on your preference), olives, salt, pepper, and an egg. The dough is made by vigorously kneading all the ingredients, ensuring you achieve a homogeneous, elastic, and easy-to-handle composition. Once you have completed this step, let the dough rest for about 20-30 minutes. It is important to know that it does not need to rise, as it will have enough time to develop during baking.
While the dough is resting, you can prepare the filling. Start by peeling the onion and slicing it into thin rings. Blanch the onion for a few minutes in hot water, then drain it well. Now, in a heated pan with a little oil, add the onion and sauté it until it becomes golden and soft. At this point, add salt and pepper to taste, then incorporate the diced meat. It is essential to stir the mixture well to avoid large chunks of meat that would not cook evenly. Additionally, the meat will release its juices, which will contribute to a more intense flavor.
Once the meat is cooked, add the pitted and chopped olives. Mix the ingredients well to ensure an even distribution in the filling. Now, return to the rested dough. Roll it out on a floured surface, obtaining thin sheets similar to noodle dough, and cut them into circles the size of a plate.
Brushing the sheets with oil will help achieve a crispy texture, so don’t hesitate to use a brush to evenly distribute the oil. Then, add a portion of the meat and vegetable mixture onto each sheet and roll them tightly, forming a 'salami'. After rolling, cut each roll into smaller spirals. Place them in a tray lined with parchment paper, brush them with egg white or olive oil to achieve a golden and appetizing crust. Bake them in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 25-30 minutes, or until they become golden and crispy.
These meat and olive spirals are perfect to be served warm, being an ideal snack for any occasion. The flavors will combine splendidly, and the texture will be particularly pleasant. Enjoy them alongside a fresh salad or a yogurt sauce, and savor every bite!
