Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 small onion - chopped
- 2 cloves garlic - minced
- ½ pound ground beef
- 1 ½ teaspoons chili powder - or hot sauce
- ½ tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika powder
- ¼ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg powder (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon pimento powder (optional) - or ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup bread crumbs
- ½ cup water
- ½ beef broth cubes (optional)
- sheet/s puff pastry
- 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water - for egg wash
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, saute garlic and onion in oil until limp.
- Add ground beef and make sure to break up any clumps and let cook until the meat is no longer pink.
- Add chili powder, curry powder, dried thyme, paprika powder, sugar, nutmeg powder and pimento powder. Cook for another minute.
- Add the bread crumbs, water and beef cube and season with salt. Let it cook for another 10-15 minutes or until all water is gone and only oil is left. It should be moist but not watery. Remove excess oil if needed.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F.
- Cut the flaky pastry into 6 squares. On a floured surface, flatten each square a bit using a rolling pin. Fold a square piece into a triangle and unfold again. Fill one triangle with ground beef leaving about a half centimeter from the edge unfilled. Fold the other triangle on top of the filling and pinch the edges with a fork to close.
- Place the patties on a baking tray lined with a parchment paper. Lightly brush the pastry with egg wash Poke (3-5) small holes on each patty using a toothpick or fork to let the steam out and prevent them from bursting open while baking. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the pastry gets puffy and turns golden. Turn the patties to bake the other side for another 5 minutes or until also golden.
- Best served while still warm.
