Critical Success Points

  • Allow the yeast to activate properly (step 1).
  • Do not overwork the pastry dough (step 2).
  • Cook the filling until all liquid has evaporated (step 4).
  • Seal the pastry edges correctly to avoid leaks (step 5).
  • Brush the pastries with parsley‑buttered butter for a beautiful colour (step 7).
  • Do not overcook the mini tortillas to keep the centre moist (step 10).
  • Simmer the soup long enough for lentils and bulgur to become tender (step 12).
  • Stir the cream dessert constantly to avoid lumps (step 14).

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil with care to avoid splatters.
  • Use gloves or a kitchen mitt when removing the pan from the oven (200°C).
  • Be careful with sharp knives when chopping vegetables.
