🧅 1 medium size onion (finely diced)
🍅 1 medium size tomato (finely diced)
🧄 3 cloves of garlic (minced)
🌿 1/2 cup of parsley (finely chopped)
🧂 1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
⚫ 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
🌿 1/2 teaspoon cumin
🌿 1/2 teaspoon coriander
🍯 2 tablespoons pomegranate molasses
🍅 1 6oz can tomato paste
🥚 1 egg (to brush the sides of the dough with)

Instructions

1- Thaw the Dough:

Arrange the frozen dinner rolls on a large plate, ensuring they do not touch.
Spray a light coating of avocado cooking spray over the rolls.
Cover with plastic wrap, followed by a kitchen towel, and let them thaw for about 2 hours, or until they double in size.

2- Prepare the Meat Filling:

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, finely diced onion, tomato, minced garlic, parsley, salt, paprika, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cumin, coriander, pomegranate molasses, and tomato paste.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. Set the filling aside.

3- Preheat and Assemble Pies:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out each thawed dough piece into an oval shape.
Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the meat filling onto the center of each rolled dough and spread evenly.
Fold the edges of the dough over the filling and pinch or twist the ends to form a boat shape.

4- Egg Wash and Bake:

Lightly beat the egg and brush it over the outer dough of each pie.
Place the assembled pies onto a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.

5- Serve and Enjoy:

Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Enjoy your savory meat pies warm, perfect with a side salad or yogurt dip.
