quick and easy – even for children

Heat some oil in a pan. Peel and dice the onion, and fry until lightly translucent. Then add the ground beef and fry until crumbly. Stir the tomato paste into the ground beef and season with salt, pepper, and curry powder. Drain the mixed vegetables briefly and add them to the pan with the ground beef. Then add both types of ketchup. Continue frying for a few more minutes. Place the puff pastry pieces in a square on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Fold the edges and corners over each other, brush with a little egg white, and gently press together with a fork. Then spread the slightly cooled filling onto half of the puff pastry. Now fold it over and seal the “pie.” Brush the sealed pie with the egg yolk. Bake in a preheated oven at 170°C for about 30 minutes, until the pastry is nicely risen and lightly browned. Serve with tzatziki. Tip: For those who like spicier cuisine, you can season it with Tabasco right from the start.
