Where to find ingredients
You can find all these ingredients at your local supermarket, neighborhood grocery store, or farmer's market in the produce and meat sections.
Preparation
- 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 mixture has completely evaporated
- Season with salt and black pepper
- Adjust to your taste
- Turn off the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley and chives
- Let the filling cool completely before filling the pastries to ensure the dough remains intact
Notes
The primary goal for this filling is to keep it quite dry, preventing excess moisture from compromising the crispiness of the dough during frying. The secret is to sauté the mixture until all the liquid has completely reduced before finishing the preparation.
