To prepare this recipe, you will need:

• 2 packages of puff pastry,
• 500 g of cooked mixed meat (poultry and pork),
• 2 onions,
• 1 carrot,
• 2 cloves of garlic,
• half a teaspoon of ground sweet pepper,
• half a teaspoon of dried marjoram,
• half a teaspoon of dried parsley,
• salt and pepper
• optionally 50-100 ml of chicken stock (depending on whether the mass is moist or dry),
• rapeseed oil for frying,
• egg for brushing.

Cut the onion into cubes and do the same with the peeled carrot. Fry the vegetables in a little oil.

Then grind the cooked meat and vegetables in a fine grinder. Add pressed garlic, stir. Season with marjoram, paprika, parsley, salt and pepper.

If the stuffing is too dry, gradually add hot chicken broth and knead the meat mass. Set the stuffing aside to cool completely.

Unroll the puff pastry and cut it into long rectangles. Place cold stuffing along the shorter side, forming a roll. Roll up the dough, enclosing the filling inside and gently pressing the edges. Transfer the rolls to a board and cut them into smaller 4-5 cm long patties. Make cuts on top of each with a sharp knife.

Place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Brush the top with beaten egg (optional – for golden color).

Bake at 200°C for about 15 minutes. Take out the meat patties when the dough is golden.
