Calories per Serving: 4937.4 kcal
Ingredients:
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- Zest of 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cake yeast
Instructions:
-
Begin by lightly browning the finely chopped onions in 2 tablespoons of butter until they exude a golden aroma.
-
Introduce the star of the show, the lean ground beef, stirring and browning it for approximately 10 minutes until it becomes a savory symphony of flavors.
-
Sprinkle in the pine nuts, adding a delightful crunch to the mix, and season the concoction with 1/4 teaspoon of pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of allspice, the zest of 2 lemons, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon. Allow this aromatic blend to simmer for an additional 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld into perfection. Cool the mixture slightly.
-
While the savory filling cools, let’s dive into the world of dough creation. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of sugar and the cake yeast in 1 cup of warm water, creating a yeast elixir that will bring life to our dough.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of salt. Pour the yeast elixir into the flour mixture and knead the dough for 5 minutes until it reaches a smooth, elastic consistency.
-
Cover the dough and let it rise for 45 minutes, allowing it to double in size and develop that perfect airy texture.
-
Now, let’s shape our culinary creations! Cut the risen dough into walnut-sized pieces. Roll each piece out into a round shape, ready to cradle spoonfuls of our savory filling.
-
Spoon the beef and pine nut filling onto each round of dough, then roll and pinch the edges to ensure none of that delicious filling escapes during baking.
-
Preheat your oven to a toasty 425 degrees, preparing it for the magic that’s about to happen. Place your filled dough delights on a buttered cookie sheet, ready to transform into golden perfection in just 15 to 20 minutes.
-
For an extra touch of crispy brown goodness, you can elevate your pies by placing them under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Watch as they reach that ideal level of golden perfection, tantalizing your senses with their aroma.
These Beef Pine Nut Pies are not just a meal; they’re a symphony of flavors, a dance of textures, and a journey for your taste buds. Share this recipe with your loved ones and savor the joy that homemade goodness brings to the table. 🍽️✨
