Cut the meat in small cubes, or use ground beef. Put it in a bowl and add 2 tablespoons of hot water, salt and pepper.
Put two tablespoons of oil and three tablespoons of butter in a pot. Chop the onions and add them to the pot. Cook the mixture for a few minutes. Add the crushed red pepper and the meat and continue cooking while stirring the mixture.
Spread the dough until you obtain a thin layer. Cut it in discs, put the mixture in the middle and add the raisins, pieces of hard-boiled eggs and olives. Close the pocket, put it on a pan and bake it at 450 F.
