  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Dairy-free
  • Contains: beef, celery, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 60 g Pie crust, unbaked
  • 1 g Turmeric
  • 75 g Beef, ground, 80% lean, raw
  • 20 g Onions, raw
  • 2 g Chili peppers, red, raw

  • 6 g Breadcrumbs, dry
  • 20 g Beef broth

Method

  1. Work the turmeric into the pastry dough so it turns a deep golden yellow, then roll out and cut into a large circle.
  2. Cook the onion and chili for 4 minutes, add the ground beef and curry powder, and cook, breaking it up, until fully browned with no pink left, about 8 minutes.
  3. Stir in the beef broth and breadcrumbs and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the filling holds together but isn't wet; season with the salt and let cool.
  4. Spoon the filling onto one half of the pastry circle, fold the other half over, and press and crimp the edge firmly to seal.
  5. Brush the top with beaten egg.
  6. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is crisp and deep golden.
