Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 120 grams Almond flour
• 40 grams Coconut flour
• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 large Egg
• 1 medium Onion
• 1 medium Carrot
• 100 grams Rutabaga
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring until browned.

Step 5

Peel and finely dice the carrot and rutabaga, then add them to the skillet.

Step 6

Add salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir to combine well.

Step 7

Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Step 8

In a large bowl, combine almond flour and coconut flour.

Step 9

Cut the chilled unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture.

Step 10

Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 11

Beat one of the eggs and add it to the mixture, reserving the other egg.

Step 12

Add 1 tablespoon of water and mix until a dough forms. If too crumbly, add a little more water.

Step 13

Divide the dough into four equal parts. Roll each part into a small circle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 14

Place a quarter of the meat mixture into the center of each dough circle.

Step 15

Fold the dough over the filling to form a semicircle, pinching the edges to seal.

Step 16

Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 17

Beat the reserved egg and brush it over the top of each pastry.

Step 18

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Step 19

Let the pasties cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
