Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh produce, meat, and pantry staples like oil and spices at any local grocery store or supermarket. Fresh herbs are typically located in the produce section.
Method
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat
- Sauté the onion and garlic until they begin to lightly brown
- Add the ground beef to the pan
- Stir continuously to break up any clumps and allow the meat to brown evenly
- Add the chopped tomato to the mixture
- Cook while stirring occasionally until all the moisture from the preparation has evaporated completely
- Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting according to your taste
- Turn off the heat
- Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and green onions
- Wait for the filling to cool completely before filling the pastry shells to ensure the dough remains intact
Notes
The main goal for this filling is to ensure it is dry, preventing excess moisture from compromising the crispiness of the pastry dough when frying. The secret is to sauté the mixture until all the liquid has evaporated completely before finishing the preparation.
