Crispy Spiced Beef & Couscous Wontons with Garlic Aioli

1. Cook the filling: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add ground beef, garlic, dehydrated onion (or diced onion), Baharat, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fragrant. 2. Add couscous: Mix in the cooked couscous (or prepare according to box instructions if uncooked) and fold in fresh herbs if using. Let the mixture cool slightly — easier for filling. 3. Wrap the wontons: Spoon about 1 tsp of filling into each wonton wrapper. Moisten edges with water and seal tightly. (Yes, this part takes forever, but you’re creating golden little flavor bombs.) 4. Fry or air-fry: Pan-fry: Pour ½–¾ inch of oil into a skillet, heat to medium-high. Fry wontons in batches until golden and crisp, about 1–2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Air-fry: Preheat to 375°F. Brush or spray wontons with oil. Air-fry 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden. 5. Make the aioli: Whisk together mayo, lemon juice, garlic paste, and salt until smooth. Serve chilled alongside hot wontons. 6. Optional flair: Drizzle a little extra Baharat or chili oil on top for that holy crap finish.
