Ingredients
For the runza filling
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the puff pastry
- 2 sheets of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Set medium heat to cook ground beef in large skillet until brown. Cook by adding chopped onion and minced garlic, until the onion turns translucent.
- Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and sauté for a few minutes until it wilts slightly.
- Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, stirring well to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Add little flour on surface and rol out puff pastry sheet into rectangles.
- Cut the rolled-out puff pastry into rectangular shapes, approximately 6x8 inches in size.
- Using a spoon, put beef and cabbage filling on one side of each pastry rectangle, making sure to leave some empty space around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling, creating a pocket, and press the edges firmly to seal. For a decorative touch, crimp the edges with a fork.
- Place the runzas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush the tops of the runzas with beaten egg to give them a glossy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden brown.
- Once cooked, remove the runzas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
