Where to find ingredients
Ground beef, onions, garlic, tomatoes, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs can be purchased at your local supermarket or butcher shop. Cooking oil is also widely available at grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat
- Sauté the onion and garlic until lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan
- Stir continuously to break up clumps and allow the meat to brown evenly
- Add the chopped tomato to the mixture
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until all the moisture has completely evaporated
- Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to your taste
- Turn off the heat and mix in the chopped fresh herbs
- Allow the filling to cool completely before filling the pastries to ensure the dough remains intact
Observations
The main goal for this filling is to make it very dry, preventing excess moisture from the meat from compromising the crispiness of the pastry dough when frying. The secret is to sauté the mixture until all the liquid has completely evaporated before finishing the preparation.
