Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 300 grams ground beef
- 1 medium carrot
- 1 medium potato
- 1 small onion
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel and finely dice the carrot, potato, and onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Stir in the diced carrot and potato. Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly tender. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets slightly and cut each sheet into four equal squares, creating eight squares total.
Place a generous spoonful of the cooled meat and vegetable mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the corners of the square into the center, pinching the edges together to form a pouch.
Beat the egg in a small bowl and use it to brush the tops of the pastry packages. Sprinkle with sesame seeds for a decorative touch.
Place the packages onto the prepared baking sheet and transfer them to the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and flaky.
Remove the Surprise Packages from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
