People from Turkey will hate me and my Turkish co-workers know that I am able to make a real piede from scratch.
But I saw this shortcut on the Internet and had a puff pastry ready to be baked. It was easy and tasty. The flakey crust goes well with the spiced beef.
I had some Koefte seasoning left and used that up with a grated onion and grated garlic. A long green pepper went in the mix too. The ground meat has to stay in the fridge after seasoning for 3 hours. Just prepare it in advance and when ever you are ready to cook, preheat the oven to 200 C fan.
I used a rectangular piece of puff pastry and divided it in 3 equal strips. When you transfer each of them to a paper lined baking tray, try to pull the ends out a little. That helps with the boat shape. Pull up the sides and poke a couple of holes with a fork in the center.
Press down the seasoned meat and bake it in the oven for 20 to 25 min.
Prepare a dressing with Mayo, Greek yogurt, garlic powder, salt and dried mint. A bit of ripped parsley on top of the piede is tasty as well.
