2. Cooking the Stir Fry:

- Using the same skillet, add the onions and mushrooms. Stir fry for 3 minutes until the onions become translucent.
- Add bell peppers, cabbage, and almonds. Cook for another 4 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Return the stir-fried meats to the skillet, combining with the vegetables.
- Season with the mixed spices and lemon juice, stir well to ensure all elements are covered. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

4. Assembling the Pastry:
- Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface.
- Divide the stir-fry mixture evenly and place it onto half of each pastry sheet.
- Fold over the puff pastry to enclose the filling, pressing the edges to seal tightly.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Baking:
