Ingredients

  • 450 g puff pastry (frozen)
  • 250 g White cabbage
  • 80 g cooked beetroot (vacuum packed)
  • 300 g mixed ground meat
  • 300 g sour cream
  • Salt
  • black pepper (ground)
  • flour (for the work surface)
  • 1 egg (separated)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Let the puff pastry thaw. Preheat the oven to 200°C with upper and lower heat.

  2. 2.

    Wash, trim, and dice the white cabbage into small cubes. Dice the beetroot similarly and mix with the cabbage, ground meat, 120 g sour cream, salt, and pepper.

    Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut squares about 6 x 6 cm using a dough cutter. Place a teaspoon of filling on each square, brush edges with egg white, fold into triangles, press edges firmly, and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Whisk together yolk and heavy cream and brush over the pockets. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

    Whisk remaining sour cream with dill, season with salt and pepper, taste, and serve alongside the pockets.
