Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! The meat tasted exactly like the meat from my favorite Lebanese bakery. I could only find ground lamb frozen in 1lb package, so I used the full pound with 1 pound of ground beef. I added a little bit of garlic and some ground allspice. I had to substitute lime juice for lemon, but it didn't seem to matter. My pastry work needs some practice, but I can't wait to make these again!

Mixture sounds about what I remember but Sitoo's was heavier on the lamb. ..Size of rounds to form the traditional triangle shape shown? I'm no good at geometry :( ..Have you tried scratch dough? Would like to get hold of that recipe :)

Wow, were these delicious! I accidentally bought the wrong frozen puff pastry - the shells - but they actually worked just fine. We just had 6 of them along with our dinner and some of the meat mixture left over. I can't wait to make this again.

Very good, however, did you omit oil to saute the meat and onions? Also added some red pepper to the mix. Very nice recipe. Husband loved them.

Perfect! I too, had the ultimate Lebabese cook, my uncle Tofee who made these from scratch. This filling is identical to his. I have cheated over the years and used GRANDS! biscuits, separated each one horzintally, and pressed into a muffin tin. I then scoop 1/4 c. of the mixture in to each and bake acc't to buscuit label. I LOVE to idea of puff pastry. Nice variation.
