Ingredients

• 500 grams Ground beef
• 2 cups Green cabbage
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 sheets Pre-made puff pastry sheets
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Finely chop the onion and garlic, and shred the cabbage into thin strips.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the cabbage, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, until the cabbage is softened. Remove from heat and let the filling cool slightly.

Step 6

Roll out the pre-made puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 equal squares (for a total of 8).

Step 7

Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef and cabbage mixture onto the center of each square, leaving a border around the edges.

Step 8

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

Step 9

Brush the edges of each pastry square with the egg wash. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle, and press the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.

Step 10

Transfer the turnovers to the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash for a golden finish.

Step 11

Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit on the top of each turnover to allow steam to escape.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and puffed.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
