How to Make Lahme Bi Ajeen Meat In Pastry

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut 1 sheet (14.1 oz) of puff pastry into 9 equal squares.
  3. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll each pastry square as thinly as possible.
  4. In a large skillet, sauté 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pine nuts until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, until translucent.
  6. Add 1 lb ground lamb (or beef), 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Cook for 15 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned.
  7. Drain any excess grease from the meat mixture.
  8. Stir in the toasted nuts into the meat mixture.
  9. Place approximately 2-3 tablespoons of the meat mixture onto the center of each pastry square.
  10. Fold the bottom edge of the pastry over the filling, then fold the top edge down to meet the bottom, creating a half-moon shape.
  11. Fold in the sides to seal the edges.
  12. Lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
  13. Place the pastries seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  14. Brush the tops of the pastries with a little olive oil.
  15. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  16. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot or at room temperature!
