- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots and peas)
- 1 tsp paprika

Instructions
- 1. Prepare the Dough: In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Gradually add ice water until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- 2. Cook the Filling: Brown ground meat in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat, then add onions and mixed vegetables; cook until tender. Stir in paprika and oregano.
- 3. Roll Out Dough: Divide chilled dough into equal parts and roll each into circles about six inches wide on a floured surface.
- 4. Fill and Seal: Spoon filling onto one half of each circle, fold over, and press edges to seal with a fork.
