Step #5 ).

Step #9 Reduce heat to simmer, cover, & cook this until vegetables are tender, about 20 mins.
Step #10 Stir frequently.
Step #11 Add extra liquid (chicken stock, water, coconut milk)ONLY if necessary.
Step #12 But just a little as you don't want too much liquid when you're finished.
Step #13 Stir in the reserved ground beef & onions & the cilantro (if using).
Step #14 Place in a bowl & chill for 20 mins.
Step #15 Meanwhile, preheat your trusty oven to 400º.

Step #20 Brush edges of each square with beaten egg mixture.
Step #21 Place heaping 1/3 c of chilled beef mixture in center.
Step #22 Bring up each corner to the top center & seal edges.
Step #23 This makes it look sort of like a pinwheel.
Step #24 (If you'd like, you can just fold in half to make triangles.
Step #25 ).
Step #26 Place on baking sheet & repeat with remaining puff pastry.
Step #27 Brush pillows with egg wash & bake this at 400º for 20 mins, or until golden brown.
