Miriam’s Delicious Pie
Ingredients:
4 Small cups plain or self-raising flour
1 Teaspoon baking powder (optional if you are using self-raising flour)
2 Small cups butter (margarine, butter substitute)
1 Teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 ½ Onions
1 Clove garlic
1 Egg (or flour and water)
2 Cans tuna
Spring onion, chopped
Carrot, chopped
Sweet peppers, chopped
Method
To make the pastry:
- Blend ½ onion and 1 garlic clove in a blender with a small amount of water.
- Place the flour, baking powder, butter and nutmeg in a bowl and add the blended garlic and onion. Mix together to form a dough. Leave to rest in the fridge while you make the filling.
To make the filling:
You can fill the pie with whatever you fancy! Miriam showed us how to do it with tuna and vegetables.
- Chop the peppers, onion, carrots and spring onion then mix with the tuna (drained), then it’s ready to fill.
- If you are using raw meat for the filling, cook it first.
To make the pie:
- Roll out the pastry on a surface with flour
- Lightly beat one egg (you can use 1 spoon of flour and 1 spoon of water to create a ‘glue’ to seal the pastry if you don’t have an egg)
You can make the pie in any shape that you like. Here are some options:
* Use a bowl to cut a round shape, add filling to half of the pastry, put egg around the edges, fold over to seal
*Brush over with egg so it browns in the oven
OR
* Cut the pastry into a strip then roll it around the filling (like a sausage roll), use egg to seal and brush over the top.
To bake:
Depending on the shape and size of your pie it will need more or less time in the oven (bigger/thicker will need longer) but it will need approximately 30 minutes at 180C
