Sauté the onion in some oil until translucent.

Add the minced meat and fry for about 2-3 minutes at medium heat.

Season with dehydrated food seasoning and ground black pepper, mixing until combined.

Let the meat fry for about 10 minutes until completely cooked.

Take two sheets of phyllo and place them in the baking pan with the ends hanging out.

Sprinkle with the mixture of sparkling water and oil.

Take three or four sheets, fold them, and place them in the middle of the pan.

Add a layer of the minced meat filling on top.

Repeat the layering process until you have two sheets of phyllo left.

Cover the whole pan with the last two sheets of phyllo, folding the ends inwards.

Sprinkle with the remaining mixture of water and oil.

Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for about 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
