  3. 3Add paprika, granulated garlic, sumac, coriander, salt, and pepper to the food processor and blend again until fully puréed.

  7. 7Spoon about 2 cups of the meat mixture onto the center of a piece of parchment paper and top with another sheet of parchment paper.

  9. 9Remove the top parchment paper.
  10. 10Fold the bottom parchment paper in 1-inch increments, leaving the parchment inside the layers to create a log.

  13. 13Add tomatoes and hot peppers to the baking tray with the meat logs.
  14. 14Pop the tray into the oven and bake for 45 minutes.
  15. 15Unravel the parchment paper from the meat logs to expose the meat sheets.
