|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Prepare and chop all your herbs and spices.
|
|
Heat 1/2 tbsp oil on medium heat in a wide frying pan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Add your chopped onions to the oil and sauté for 1 minute. Add your crushed garlic, chili peppers, ginger, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Let it fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
|
|
Add your ground meat. Start breaking up the meat in the pan as it cooks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After the meat has been broken down a little, add in your dry spices, the salt, black pepper, coriander, cumin and paprika.
|
|
Continue cooking, if you notice your meat drying out add a 1/2 cup of water to it. The meat itself will take about 20 minutes to fully cook.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At the very end of the cooking you are going to add in your cilantro and turn the stove off.
|
|
Let your filling of the meat cool before filling your pie crust.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While your meat is cooling, roll out your pie crust on a clean surface.
|
|
Make as many circles as you can using a cookie cutter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fill your little round pie crust with the filling. Note do not over fill the crust or it will not seal properly and will spill out in the hot oil while frying and that could be bad.
|
|
Using your finger just dab a little water around the edges of the pie crust before folding it over in half. Press the edges firmly using a fork
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fill your pot with oil about 1/4 way up. Heat the oil to 325 degrees.
|
|
Add in about 5-6 of the crust at a time. Do not over crowd the oil.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It will not take long for the crust to turn a nice golden brown color. Using a slotted spoon remove it from the oil after cooking and drain on paper towels.
|
|
Pop one into your mouth and enjoy!
