1. Make the Pastry:

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add the cold water, mixing until the dough comes together. Add a little more water if necessary.

Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare the Filling:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes, until softened.

Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.

Enjoy!
