Curry Beef Puffs

These were very very experimental in concept and execution. Thankfully, they turned out AMAZING.

Ingredients:
1/2 package of puff pastry (3 sections), thawed
1 cup meatless crumbles
1/4 onion
1 clove garlic
1 tablespoon curry powder
oil for sauteing

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Dice the onion and mince the garlic, saute until the onion is clear. Add meatless crumbles and curry powder and cook just long enough so that the meat is not frozen. Roll each section of the puff pastry out until it is about 4 inches wide, 1/8-in thick. Divvy up the meat mixture amongst the three puff pastry sheets, but only place the meat on 1/2 of each sheet.

Each sheet is going to be folded in half and then cut into five sections, so try to spoon the meat into 5 lines. Fold the other half of the pastry sheet over the meat, gently press the dough down between each division, and cut it into 5 strips with a pizza cutter (spraying the pizza cutter with oil first will help).

Just for aesthetic purposes, you can spray the tops with oil and sprinkle sesame seeds (or use an egg white wash to make it  brown nicely).  Bake them for 22-25 minutes, or until they are nicely brown and crispy. Separate with a spatula and eat!
