with minced meat, feta and mushrooms

Dice the onions and finely slice the garlic. Finely chop the parsley. Dice the tomatoes and feta cheese. Slice the mushrooms. Beat the egg well. Brown the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Add two-thirds of the onions and two-thirds of the garlic and brown vigorously. Briefly brown the tomato paste. Deglaze with 150 ml red wine and remove the pan from the heat. Add the ricotta to the meat and stir through. Season the meat mixture with rosemary, oregano, and basil and let cool slightly. Sauté the remaining onions in a pan. Add the mushrooms and brown. Add the parsley and the remaining garlic and brown everything well. Deglaze with the remaining red wine and thicken with a little cornstarch. Set aside. Spread the first roll of puff pastry on the paper and roll it out a little further in two directions with a rolling pin. Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces and spread them out on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Do the same with the second sheet of puff pastry and set them aside. Spread the meat mixture evenly over the first six pieces of puff pastry, making sure to leave a little space around the edges. Spread the feta cheese and tomato pieces evenly over all six parcels. Place 2 basil leaves on top of each parcel and distribute the mushrooms evenly over the parcels. Brush the edges of the dough with egg, place the remaining pieces of puff pastry on top and press the edges down with a fork. Brush the parcels with the remaining egg. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Bake the parcels for 20-25 minutes, keeping an eye on them. While the parcels were baking, I made some tomato rice and served it as a side dish.
