Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, egg, lukewarm water and a pinch of salt until you get a smooth dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
  2. Finely chop the lamb and thinly slice the onions, then grate the pumpkin.
  3. Mix the meat, onions, pumpkin, salt, pepper, cumin and oil to make an even filling.
  4. Roll the dough out very thin and cut out squares of about 10 cm.
  5. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square, then bring up the edges and pinch them together, leaving the top open like a little pouch.
  6. Oil the steamer basket and arrange the oromo in it, close together but not touching.
  7. Steam for 40 minutes over medium heat, until the dough is translucent and the filling is well cooked.
  8. Serve very hot with yogurt and fresh dill.

Variations and tips

Potato version. Replace the pumpkin with 250 g of grated potatoes for a softer filling.
