Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 500 grams ground beef
- 1 medium, finely diced onion
- 1 medium, finely diced red bell pepper
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 400 grams canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup, drained and rinsed kidney beans
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 large sheets, thawed puff pastry sheets
- 1 beaten egg
- 100 grams, grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the diced onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, kidney beans, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the mixture on low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the chili mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into quarters, creating 16 squares in total.
Spoon a tablespoon of the chili mixture onto the center of each pastry square. Top with a small amount of grated cheddar cheese.
Fold the corners of each square toward the center to form a parcel and pinch the edges together to seal.
Brush each parcel with beaten egg to create a golden finish during baking.
Place the parcels on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the parcels cool slightly before serving.
