Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 3–5 minutes or until softened. Add garlic, cumin, paprika and cinnamon and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add mince and cook, breaking up lumps with a wooden spoon, for 5 minutes or until browned.
  2. Add stock, paste, sweet potato and zucchini and cook, covered, for 10 minutes. Uncover and cook for 5 minutes or until thickened. Cool.
  3. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Spray a baking tray with oil. Spray 1 sheet of filo pastry with oil. Top with another sheet of filo and cut pastry stack in half lengthways. Spoon ½ cup (125ml) mince onto 1 corner of pastry. Fold diagonally across filling to form a triangle. Continue folding to end of the filo, retaining triangular shape. Place on prepared tray, seam-side down. Repeat with remaining filo and mince to make 4 pasties.
  4. Bake pasties for 15–20 minutes or until crisp and golden. Combine the yogurt and mint in a small bowl. Serve pasties with the mint yogurt.
