Spring pie
Serves 15
Ingredients
300 g puff pastry
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
3 spring onions
1 kg minced beef
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
100 g breadcrumbs
2 eggs
Salt
Pepper, freshly ground
Paprika powder
2 tsp medium-hot mustard
For glazing
1 egg yolk
Water
Method
Dice the peppers and slice the spring
onions.
Mix the minced beef with the
vegetables, garlic, breadcrumbs, eggs,
spices and mustard.
Grease and line a loaf tin (approx 30
cm) with baking parchment. Roll the
pastry out to approx. 45 x 50 cm. Line
the tin with the pastry, leaving the same
amount of pastry hanging over the
sides all round. Add the minced beef
mixture and press down firmly. Use the
overlapping pastry to form a lid. Coat
the edges with water and press the
edges to seal the pie.
Cut 3 diamonds, approx. 3 x 3 cm in
size out of the lid and use them to
decorate the top of the pie.
Whisk the egg yolk with some water,
brush over the pastry and bake.
