We divided the mass into two and reserved a wrap in film. With the other half we make a churro of one and a half centimeters and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
We give it ball shape and then stretch it with a roller until it measures about 10 centimeters in diameter. We reserve.
For the filling we chop the onion, garlic and peppers. In a pan over medium heat we brown the meat and reserve.
Add the vegetables in the same pan and fry them for five minutes. Meanwhile, put the eggs in boiling water for 10 minutes.
Add the paprika, cumin, oregano and cayenne to the pan, and mix. Afterwards, pour the meat back into the pan and pour the broth.
We leave it cooking until the broth reduces, about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, we sting the olives and when the meat is ready we add and mix them.
Put a tablespoon of this filling that we have prepared in the center of the dough, with a piece of egg on top and then close it.
We adorn the edges and place the dumplings on a tray lined with baking paper. We varnished them with beaten egg and baked at 180o C, for about 20 minutes. Delicious!
