Empanada Con Carne With Egg & Harissa

Ingredients:

1lb ground beef

1 large onion

1 garlic clove

2 tbsp toasted pine nuts

5 dates

1 hard-boiled egg

parsley (chopped)

harrissa

salt and pepper

oil

1 egg yolk

ready-made dough (such as puff pastry)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Finely chop the garlic and onion, and sautee in oil over medium heat for a few minutes.

Add beef until crumbles apart. Season with salt, pepper and harrissa to your liking. 

Add the parsley, pine nuts and cut up hard-boiled egg. Mix together and remove from heat.

In a 4in x 14in dish or similar size put a layer of puff pastry down to cover bottom and sides. 

Add the meat filling, and top with other pastry sheet. Crimp the edges so it is closed, and with a fork poke a few holes so it can steam while in the oven.

Brush egg yolk over the top and place in the oven for about 25min or until golden brown.
