Method
Pre heat oven to 230c
Place saucepan on high heat, add oil and white onions. When translucent add salt and cook until
caramelised.
Add beef and keep stirring for 5 mins until meat is lightly browned. Add oregano and the spices,
season and stir well.
Lower heat and gently braise until tender – about 20 mins. Remove from the heat and add spring
onions, red peppers, olives and parsley. Let it cool and adjust seasoning, if necessary.
Pile a tablespoon of filling on half of each pastry disc, fold over, seal and paint with egg wash.
Bake for 10 mins until golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
