Beaten egg for brushing

Preparation of Revekko step by step

In a bowl, mix the minced meat with the onion, garlic, cumin, cinnamon, parsley, salt and pepper. Make sure to integrate all the ingredients well.

Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into squares of the desired size for your Revekkos.

Place a portion of the meat mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.

Fold the puff pastry over the meat mixture and press the edges to seal well.

Place the Revekkos on a previously greased baking tray.

Using a brush, apply beaten egg over the Revekkos to give them a shiny, golden look.
