Ingredients

• Puff pastry - 250 grams
• Ground pork - 150 grams
• Ground beef - 100 grams
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, dried
• Nutmeg - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Egg (for egg wash) - 1, beaten

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, sautéed onion and garlic, parsley, thyme, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about 3mm thick. Cut one large rectangle for the base and a smaller rectangle for the top.
5. Place the larger pastry rectangle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the meat mixture onto the center, leaving a border around the edges.
6. Lay the smaller pastry rectangle over the filling, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork or your fingers.
7. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
9. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
