When I was growing up my mom used to do everything from the scratch. How did she manage that, I still have no idea. Although I love making things from the scratch, I love making things quickly more. This pastry is so easy to make, it takes only 15 mins to prepare. This kind of pastries are consumed a lot in Turkey. We call them 'boerek' in general. They are made from pyhllo dough or puff pastry or you make your own dough.What do you need?
- 1/2 lbs of meat (I used beef chunks, you can use any type)
- 1 onion
- 1 can of peas and carrot
- 2 sheets of puff pastry
- 1 egg
- salt end pepper
- Take the puff pastry out of the freezer and let it thaw.
- Dice the onion and saute it in about 2tbsp of vegetable oil.
- Cut the meat in small pieces as the size of a peanut and add it to the pan.
- Lower the heat to medium and cook the meat almost all the way about 10 min.
- Turn the heat off and add the peas and carrots into the pan and let them cool down.
- Cut the puff pastry sheet into 6 pieces each. From one single sheet you are gonna have 6 rectangular pieces.
- Roll them on the counter with a rolling pin. All you need to do is just press lightly while you create a square.
- Put the meat stuffing in the center of puff pastry and fold each edge on top of the stuffing in the center. You can brush 1 egg white on every edge while you are folding which acts like a glue.
- Place them onto greased oven tray folded side down. Brush the top with 1 egg yolk and sprinkle some black seeds if you can find them. Bake them in 430F degree oven (preheated) until they are golden brown.
