Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh ground beef, eggs, and produce at local butchers, open-air markets, or general supermarkets. As a substitute for fresh garlic, garlic powder can be used, though fresh is recommended for the best flavor.
Preparation method
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan
- Sauté the onion and garlic until they are lightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan
- Cook the meat, stirring well until all moisture has evaporated
- Season with salt and pepper to your taste
- Turn off the heat and fold the chopped hard-boiled eggs into the mixture
- Let the filling cool completely before use to prevent the pastel dough from becoming damp or breaking
Observations
A perfect pastel filling needs to be dry enough to ensure the pastry dough does not tear or get soggy. The key is to make sure the meat is thoroughly sautéed and completely cooled before assembling your pastries.
