Ingredients
Meat filling:
- 135 g ground meat (beef, veal, pork)
- 1/2 carrot
- 1/2 onion
- 1/2 bell pepper
- 125 ml vegetable or beef stock

Preparation
- Dice all the vegetables. Fry the carrot, then the bell pepper, then the onion. Add the graines à roussir spice blend, then the meat. Season, then add the minced garlic and finish cooking with the stock.
Assembly and cooking:
- Roll out the dough until thin. Cut the dough into circles using a cookie cutter or an inverted glass. You should have about 28 circles, which will yield 14 patties.
- Any remaining dough can be frozen and used for another recipe.
- Beat an egg to use for an egg wash.
- Fill a small bowl with water. Dip one side of a dough circle in the water, then place 1/2 teaspoon of filling on the same side.
- Place another dough circle on top and seal the two circles together using a fork.
- Place the patties on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Brush the egg wash on the patties. Cook the patties in a 380° F oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Serve warm or cold.
- The patties can be frozen. To thaw, place them in a 350° F oven for 8 minutes, then let cool before serving.
- Serve as a snack or appetizer with a salad.
Enjoy your lunch!
