Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 cup tapioca flour
- 0.5 cup coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon cold water
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, grated carrot
- 1 cup, finely chopped mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon, chopped fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 for egg wash beaten egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine almond flour and tapioca flour.
Melt coconut oil and let it cool slightly. Add it to the flour mixture along with one large egg and cold water.
Mix until a dough forms, then knead lightly.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.
Stir in minced garlic, grated carrot, and chopped mushrooms. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Add coconut aminos, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Roll out the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness.
Cut the dough into 8 circles using a small bowl or cutter (about 5 inches in diameter).
Place a spoonful of the meat filling in the center of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges to seal, creating half-moon-shaped pastries.
Transfer the pastries to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of each pastry with beaten egg to encourage browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your Paleo Savory Meat Pastry warm!
