Mediterranean Meat Pies (Sfeeha)
This savory Lebanese meat pie recipe is a takeoff on one from my Lebanese mother-in-law (who is one of the very best cooks I know). She makes the dough from scratch, but I use puff pastry instead to save time. These little pies are great for an appetizer or as a side dish!
