Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees (if baking immediately).
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Heat the oil in the skillet, add the onion and cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes, until shiny. Add the chopped garlic, chopped tomato and tomato paste and saute for 3 minutes
In a medium bowl, combine the ground meat, minced garlic, parsley and spices. Mix well.
Add the meat to pan and saute for 3-4 minutes until liquid evaporates and meat is cooked.
On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out each pastry square slightly. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of meat mixture in the center, leaving a border around the edges.
Beat an egg with 1 tablespoon water and with a pastry brush, brush the edges of the pastry square.
Fold squares to form triangles.
Using a fork, crimp edges of the triangles to seal.
Place on a baking sheet and brush with egg mixture. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden. Serve with hummus if desired.
