Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 2 sheets Puff pastry
• 1 medium, finely chopped Onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water Egg wash

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, and the sautéed onion and garlic. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.

Step 4

On a clean surface, lay out a puff pastry sheet. If necessary, use a rolling pin to slightly flatten it into a uniform rectangle.

Step 5

Spread half the meat mixture evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1 cm border along the edges.

Step 6

Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll up the pastry into a tight log. Seal the edge with a small amount of water to keep it secure.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining puff pastry sheet and meat mixture.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 1.5 cm thick pinwheels and lay them flat on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between the pieces.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the egg wash to ensure a golden, crispy finish.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the meat is fully cooked.

Step 11

Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
