Instructions
For the meat filling
Saute the onion, garlic, ginger, in oil for 2 to 3 minutes until the onions become translucent
Add the ground meat and saute until no longer pink.
Add the spices and season with salt and pepper
Continue to cook until the meat is cooked.
Then, add the cilantro and vinegar
Taste and adjust seasoning.
Remove from heat and into a bowl to cool completely. If possible, place in the fridge for an hour as it makes it easier to work.
For the Puff Pastry
Keep the puff pastry chilled at all times. It is easier to work with chilled puff pastry.
When chilled, open the puff pastry - dust with flour and roll out to about 16 x 16 inches square
If necessary, place on a tray and back in the fridge to keep it cold.
Cut the puff pastry into half both horizontally and vertically. So now you have 4 large squares.
Cut each large square again in half horizontally and vertically. This should give you 16 squares
Place them back in the fridge.
Assemble
Preheat the oven at 200 C / 400 F
Working with a few puff pastry squares at a time
Fill one half of each square with a generous amount of ground meat filling making sure to leave the edges clear.
Apply a light smear of water on the edge
Then, flip the second half of the square over.
Use a fork to seal the top and bottom edge. Put it back in the fridge to chill again.
Do the same with all the other puff pastry squares
Place the chilled meat patties on a baking tray.
Brush each pastry with beaten egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 22 minutes until lightly golden.
Let cool at least 10 minutes before you serve.
