  • Preparation: 35 min
  • Cooking: 22 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (262 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten, meat

Ingredients

  • 70 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 10 g Vegetable oil
  • 30 g Water
  • 1.5 g Salt
  • 120 g Lamb, ground, raw
  • 30 g Onions, raw
  • 0.3 g Black pepper

Method

  1. Make a simple dough by mixing the flour, oil, salt and water into a smooth, firm ball; cover and rest for 20 minutes. This makes 1 serving of 2 pasties; multiply for more.
  2. Mix the ground lamb with the finely chopped onion, salt and pepper to make a juicy filling.
  3. Divide the dough into 2 pieces and roll each into a thin circle about 15 cm across.
  4. Spoon the lamb filling onto one half of each circle, fold the dough over to make a half-moon, and crimp the edges firmly to seal.
  5. Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and the lamb is cooked through with no pink remaining (74 °C/165 °F internally).
  6. Serve hot; traditionally the hot broth that collects inside is sipped out before eating the pastry.
