Ingredients:

300g puff pastry
250g minced beef
3 carrots, grated
1/2 head of white cabbage (or 400g sauerkraut), finely chopped
salt, freshly-ground black pepper and ground cumin, to taste
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 eggs
1 egg, beaten with 1 tbsp water, to glaze

Method:

Add a little oil to a pan and fry the onion and garlic for about 4 minutes, or until softened. Take off the heat and set aside to cool.

Combine the beef, carrots, cabbage and 1 egg in a bowl. Season to taste and mix thoroughly. Roll out the pastry then transfer to a baking tray. Spread the meat mixture on top (leave a gap around the sides) then brush all over with the egg glaze.

Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 180°C and bake for 30 minutes. Slice and serve warm.

This dish can be served as a main course with a green salad, or it can be used as an accompaniment to roast meat.
