Where to find ingredients
You can find all fresh produce, ground beef, and pantry staples like oil and spices at any local grocery store, butcher shop, or farmers market.
Preparation
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat
- Sauté the onion and garlic until they start to turn slightly golden
- Add the ground beef to the pan
- Stir continuously to break up any clumps and ensure the meat browns evenly
- Add the chopped tomato to the mixture
- Cook while stirring occasionally until all the moisture from the mixture has evaporated completely
- Season with salt and black pepper
- Adjust to your taste
- Turn off the heat
- Stir in the chopped fresh parsley and green onions
- Allow the filling to cool completely before stuffing the pastries to ensure the dough remains intact during frying
Notes
The main goal for this filling is to keep it quite dry, as excess moisture can prevent the pastry dough from becoming perfectly crispy during frying. The secret is to sauté the mixture until all the juices have reduced completely before finishing the preparation.
