Deanys perfect pasties
Ingredients: Makes 4 pasties
- 500g puff pastry
- 200g minced steak
- 1 large carrot
- 1 red onion
- 1 brown onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- tin potatoes (diced)
- salt & pepper
- 1 beaten egg
- dash of oil
- 1 tsp mixed herbs
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200g.
Chop up the onions and lightly fry them in the oil together with the mixed herbs until the onions have softened.
Chop the carrots and garlic into small pieces (I blitzed them for 15 seconds) then add them to the pan.
Add the mince and seasoning and stir until browned then add the diced potatoes. You can use fresh partly boiled potatoes if you prefer. I used tinned for quickness.
Cook for a couple of minutes then switch off and allow to cool. Add more seasoning if needed at this stage.
When cooled, roll out the pastry and cut out 4 decent sized rounds by using an upturned bowl.
Put 2 heaped tablespoons of filling onto one half of the round and brush with the beaten egg around the edge of the pastry.
Fold over and pinch the pastry shut around the open end.
Complete the other three in the same way and place on a baking tray. Brush over the tops with the remainder of the egg.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until nicely browned
Serve with chips.
THANKS
Have you got a receipt for puff pastry please
Hi Susan, if I make my own puff pastry from scratch I always use James Martin’s recipe/method. Mostly though I buy it ready made ? Puff and filo pastry take a while to do and I haven’t always got the time.
Here is James recipe https://www.cooked.com/uk/James-Martin/Quadrille-Publishing/Sweet/Basics/Proper-puff-pastry-recipe
