Ingredients

• 500 grams ground beef
• 1 medium onion
• 1 medium zucchini
• 1 medium bell pepper
• 2 cloves garlic
• 200 grams almond flour
• 50 grams coconut flour
• 3 large egg
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 50 grams butter
• 100 grams shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until browned.

Step 4

Grate the zucchini and dice the bell pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5

Season the mixture with salt, black pepper, oregano, and paprika. Stir well, then remove from heat and let cool.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and 2 beaten eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 7

Melt the butter and let it cool, then add it to the dough along with shredded mozzarella cheese. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions, and roll each one between two sheets of parchment paper to form discs about 15cm in diameter.

Step 9

Place a quarter of the beef mixture onto one side of each dough disc, then fold over to form a semi-circle and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.

Step 10

Beat the remaining egg and brush over each pastie to help them brown while baking.

Step 11

Transfer the pasties onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Let the pasties cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
