Preparation Time

40 minutes

Cooking Time

30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 250g plain flour
  • 220g chilled butter, chopped
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 100g cooking chorizo sausage, chopped
  • 300g beef mince, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • ½ small pack coriander, finely chopped
  • ½ small pack parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chilli flakes
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan)/Gas 4.
  2. Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Add butter and, using fingertips, rub into crumbly mixture.
  3. Add eggs and 100ml cold water. Mix until dough forms. Knead on floured surface for 5 minutes, then cover with cling film and rest in fridge for 20 minutes.
  4. Cook chorizo in a frying pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes.
  5. Add beef mince, onion, coriander, parsley, paprika, cumin and chilli flakes to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-10 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool.
  7. Divide dough into four portions. Roll out each portion thinly using a rolling pin.
  8. Cut out circles of dough using a biscuit cutter. Place 1 tsp of filling in the centre of each circle. Wet edges, pinch both sides up and fold in half to seal.
  9. Brush tops with beaten egg and bake on lined baking tray for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  10. Serve hot from the oven or reheat in the oven for a few minutes if cold.
