Ingredients

  • 250 g Dough, puff

  • 300 g Sauerkraut

  • 150 g Meat, pork, smoked ham

  • 1 piece Onion, raw

  • 2 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 1 teaspoon Spices, paprika

  • 1 pinch Spices, cumin, seeds

  • 3 pinch Salt, table

  • 1 pinch Spices, pepper, black

  • 1 piece Egg, fresh

  • 2 spoons Milk, whole milk

Steps

  1. Cut the cooked ham into small cubes. Place the cabbage in a colander and rinse it quickly under running water, then drain it thoroughly. Peel the onion and chop it finely.

  2. Place a pan on the stove and heat it well, then add the oil. Add the onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes translucent and soft. Then add cumin, sweet paprika, and cabbage, and mix everything well. Cover the pan and simmer the ingredients over moderate heat for about 15 minutes. Add a few tablespoons of water if needed to prevent the cabbage from burning.

  3. Add the diced ham to the pan and simmer for a few more minutes. Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste and let it cool slightly.

  4. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Roll out the puff pastry thinly on a floured work surface and cut it into 6 cm squares. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each square. Beat the egg with milk and brush the edges of the pastry with it. Fold the squares diagonally to form triangles. Press the edges firmly with your fingers to seal the pockets so they don't open during baking.

  5. Prepare a large baking tray lined with parchment paper. Arrange the puff pastry triangles on the tray. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes until the pastry turns golden brown. Place the baked pockets on a serving platter and serve.

Advice

Puff pastry can be bought or made at home. To thaw puff pastry, leave it wrapped in the refrigerator overnight. If thats not possible, place the sheets of puff pastry on a plate side by side and let them thaw at room temperature for 30–60 minutes. The pockets can be brushed with beaten egg before baking.
