In a mixing bowl, combine 1 kg of meat around the ribs (double ground), grated onion juice, 4 tablespoons of yogurt, 1 heap tablespoon of salt, 1 heap teaspoon of black pepper, 1 tablespoon of red flake pepper, and 1 tablespoon of dried thyme.

Mix the ingredients with your hands until well combined, ensuring the meat is softened and the marinade is well distributed.

Take a piece of baking paper and place it on the wet counter.

Divide the meat mixture into 6 equal portions, approximately 220 grams each.

Shape each portion into a rectangle on the baking paper, using your hands to flatten it.

Cover the meat with another piece of baking paper and roll it out with a rolling pin to an even thickness, adjusting as necessary to ensure uniformity.

Once rolled out, check for any thin spots and adjust the meat as needed by adding from the corners to fill in gaps.
