30 g dried tomatoes in oil
2-3 stem(s) Parsley

Directions

1
For the filling, peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Wash the meat, dab dry and cut into very fine cubes. Heat olive oil in a large, coated pan.
2
Fry the meat for about 2 minutes and remove from the heat. In the meantime chop the olives coarsely. Add onion, garlic and olives and fry for 2-3 minutes. Cut tomatoes into strips. Wash parsley, dab dry, pluck leaves from stalks and chop finely.
3
Fold the parsley and tomatoes into the meat. Season with salt and pepper and let it cool down. Mix quark, milk, sunflower oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 egg. Mix flour and baking powder, knead to a smooth dough with the dough hooks of the hand mixer.
4
Roll out the dough on a floured work surface 3-4 mm thin. Cut out circles (approx. 10 cm Ø) from it. Put some filling in the middle of each circle. Whisk 1 egg, brush the edges of the dough with it and fold it over the mince mixture to form a semicircle.
5
Slightly fold in the edges and press down. Spread on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Brush with remaining egg and bake in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven. 175 °C/ gas: level 3) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
