Knead the flour, water, half the vegetable oil, and half the salt into a soft dough.
Divide the dough into 6 balls, oil them with the remaining oil, and rest for 30 minutes.
Cook the ground beef with the onion for 8 minutes, add the cumin and black pepper, and let cool.
Add the scallions and parsley to the beef, crack in the eggs, and mix.
Stretch the dough balls thinly on an oiled counter, spread the filling in the center, and fold like an envelope.
Cook the folded dough in a buttered pan for 3 minutes per side, until browned.
Serve hot with pickled cucumbers and tomatoes.
💡 Tip: Resting the dough balls in oil makes them easier to stretch; a dry counter tears the dough and lets the filling escape.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve mutabbaq hot like street food with lemony pickled cucumbers, tomatoes, and optional ayran.
