How to make Volovanes stuffed with minced meat:
- To start making our recipe for vol-au-vents stuffed with minced meat, our first step is to pre-list all the ingredients for its preparation.
- In the counter where we are going to roll out our puff pastry, add a little wheat flour and with the help of a roller roll out our puff pastry to make our Christmas appetizers.
- Roll out the puff pastry and cut 12 to 15 circles with the large cookie cutter. Remove the excess dough and with the small pasta cutter cut in the center of the 12 to 15 circles (you can see the photograph). We join the edges with the complete circles in this way the vol-au-vents are made.
- Brush it with a little egg and prick its center with a fork so that they do not grow so much and if you want to put a little weight (any type of grain) this will do is not allow the vol-au-vents to grow in the center where it goes the filling. Preheat an oven to 200 grams centigrade and insert our vol-au-vents for approximately 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven and reserve them to use in our stuffed vol-au-vents.
- Now we are going to make the filling for our Christmas appetizers and we must do the following, chop the white onions into small squares, take a pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil once hot, add the onion in squares, salt and pepper to taste. Let fry until you see that the onion turns a transparent color.
- Add our very thinly sliced bacon and brown it with the onion, this will give a truly exquisite flavor to our Christmas vol-au-vents.
- Once the bacon is golden, add the diced tomatoes to make a kind of base stew for our filling for our Christmas appetizers.
- Add the ground meat and fry very well adding salt and pepper to taste, cook for about 10 to 15 minutes until the meat browns very well.
- Add our meat sauce and let our meat keep over low heat for about 5 more minutes, turn off the heat and the filling of our homemade vol-au-vents is ready.
- Fill each of the homemade vol-au-vents with the help of a spoon. It is important to keep in mind that it is a Christmas appetizer with a lot of flavor since the combination of bacon and minced meat is exquisite.
