Tip

To make a sweet variation of this dish, skip mixing the Puck Cheese Squares with the parsley, olives, walnuts, and lemon zest. Simply fill the mutabbaq with plain cheese squares and follow the same directions to fill, fold, and fry them. Then drizzle some date molasses over the mutabbaq and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.
