• 1 tablespoon dried chilli flakes

• Simple Living Products Convection Oven

For the meat filling

• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried chilli flakes
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

• 1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses
• 400 grams lamb mince

Directions

For the pastry

Step 1: Rub the flour, salt, and butter together until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk, buttermilk, and water and combine. Before it has all come together, add the chilli flakes and cumin seeds and knead until you have a slightly smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge until you need it.

For the meat filling

Step 1: Preheat a convection oven to 200 degrees Celsius (220 C/425 F in a conventional oven).

Step 2: To make the meat filling, mix all the ingredients, except the pomegranate seeds and parsley, together with the lamb and set aside.

Step 3: Remove the pastry from the fridge and turn out onto a floured surface. Cut the dough into three pieces. Roll one piece out to 5 millimeter (1/8 inch) thick. Cut out 8-centimeter (3 1/4-inch) circles and set them on a baking tray. Repeat with the other two pieces of dough. This recipe should make about 24 in total if you re-use the cuttings as you work.

Step 4: Take a small teaspoon of the meat mixture and place it in the center of a dough circle. Fold the edges into the center and pinch them together to create a diamond shape, leaving some of the stuffing exposed. Repeat with the rest of the dough and meat mixture and place on baking trays. Brush the pastry edges with beaten egg.

Step 5: Bake for about 12–15 minutes until golden and crisp. Scatter pomegranate seeds and some parsley on top to add some crunch and punch!
