Equipment
- Stove-top
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 tbs olive oil
- 1 brown onion medium, finely diced
- 3 small potatoes very finely diced
- 2 carrots very finely diced
- 500 g lamb mince
- ½ cup peas and corn frozen
- 3 tbs Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tbs tomato sauce
- 1 tsp vegetable stock powder
- 2 tsp cornflour dissolved in ¼ cup water
- 8 sheets puff pastry defrosted
- 1 egg lightly beaten
- sesame seeds to sprinkle
Instructions
Conventional Method
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, potatoes, carrots, lamb mince, peas and corn and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables have just started to soften.
- Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, vegetable stock and cornflour powder (mixed with water) and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the sauce has started to thicken. Allow the mixture to cool.
- Use a small round plate or bowl to cut 2 large circles out of each pastry sheet. This will give you 16 small pasties. Alternatively you can use a large round plate to cut 1 circle from each pastry sheet giving you 8 large pasties.
- Place a scoop of the mixture on one half of each circle. Brush the edge with egg and fold over to seal. Use a fork to create a crinkled sealed edge.
- Brush the pastry with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Arrange on a greased baking tray.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
