Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add the ground beef and ground pork to the skillet. Cook until fully browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.
- Season the meat mixture with salt, black pepper, paprika, dried thyme, and ground nutmeg. Stir well to combine.
- Add the tomato paste and beef broth to the skillet. Mix thoroughly and simmer for 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
- Stir in the frozen peas and diced carrots. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat, allowing the mixture to cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets until slightly thinner. Cut into 4-inch squares.
- Place 2-3 tablespoons of the cooled meat filling onto the center of each square.
- Fold the pastry over diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
- Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Transfer the meat pies to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Let the pies cool slightly before serving.
Notes
You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the beef and pork. Serve with a side salad for a complete meal.
