Ingredients

  • wheat flour450 g
  • water220 ml
  • chicken egg1 pcs
  • beef mince400 g
  • pumpkin300 g
  • onion2 pcs
  • vegetable oil2 tbsp
  • ground cumin0.5 tsp
  • salt1 tsp
  • ground black pepper1 to taste

Instructions

1

Mix the wheat flour, egg, 220 ml water and half of the salt, and knead into a firm, smooth dough. Cover it and set aside for 20 minutes to let the gluten develop.

2

Cut the pumpkin and onion into very small cubes. Combine them with the ground beef, vegetable oil, cumin, the remaining salt and black pepper; the filling should be moist and evenly seasoned.

3

Divide the dough into two portions. Roll each one out on a flour-dusted surface into as thin a rectangular sheet as possible, almost to the point of transparency.

4

Spread half of the filling evenly over the first sheet, leaving a 1–2 cm border free, then roll it up tightly into a log. Shape the second roll the same way.

5

Grease the steamer rack with oil, arrange the rolls in a ring or coil, and brush their surface with a thin layer of oil so the dough doesn't dry out or stick.

6

Pour water into the bottom of the steamer, bring it to a boil, cover with a lid, and steam the oromo over medium-high heat for 45–50 minutes, until the dough is fully cooked through and the filling is done.

7

Without taking the roll apart, cut the hot oromo crosswise into slices 3–4 cm thick and serve immediately.
