MEAT PASTIZZI- PASTRY- 2 LBS. all purpose flour, 1 lb. margarine,
2 tsp. baking powder, one cup water and a pinch of salt. Mix flour,
salt and baking powder in a big
bowl. Rub in the margarine until it resembles bread crumbs. Add
one cup of very cold water. Form into a ball and knead. Its very
important that the ingredients are very cold for this dough. Let it
rest for at least 30 minutes! FILLING- Fry 3 cloves minced garlic
and 3 medium sized onions in a little vegetable oil. It is very
important to cook the onion through on a very low heat for about
ten minutes stirring frequently. Add one chopped eggplant and
continue to cook on low heat, one large carrot finely chopped and
cook for a few more minutes. Then add about a pound of minced
pork and cook until the meat is cooked through. Add 2 tbs. tomato
paste and about 1/2 cup chicken broth, salt and pepper and some
