Directions
-
Preheat your gas or charcoal grill to medium heat.
-
Season pork slices with salt, pepper, and rosemary, then place them on the grill rack.
-
Grill the pork for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and lightly charred.
-
Remove pork from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
-
Sauté sliced onions in a pan until soft and golden, then mix with the sliced pork.
-
Roll out pie dough and cut into circles large enough to fit your pie tins or grill-safe molds.
-
Brush the bottom of each dough circle lightly with olive oil to help it crisp on the grill.
-
Place the dough circles on the grill over medium-low heat and cook for 2 minutes until slightly firm.
-
Carefully flip the dough and fill each circle with the pork and onion mixture.
-
Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal.
-
Brush the top of the pies with olive oil or egg wash for a golden finish.
-
Return the pies to the grill and cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, rotating as needed, until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
-
Remove from the grill and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
