Lamb Pasties Recipes

LAMB PASTIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees celsius (fan-forced).
• Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, potatoes, carrots, lamb mince, peas and corn and cook for 5 minutes or until the vegetables have just started to soften.
• Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, vegetable stock and cornflour powder (mixed with water) and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the sauce has started to thicken.
• Use a small round plate or bowl to cut 2 large circles out of each pastry sheet. This will give you 16 small pasties. Alternatively you can use a large round plate to cut 1 circle from each pastry sheet giving you 8 large pasties.
• Place a scoop of the mixture on one half of each circle. Brush the edge with egg and fold over to seal. Use a fork to create a crinkled sealed edge.
• Brush the pastry with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Arrange on a greased baking tray.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

LAMB PATTIES

Steps:

• In a large pot, combine the ground lamb, onion, chilies, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Season with ginger and garlic pastes, white pepper, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until the meat is evenly browned and the onions are tender, about 15 minutes. Mix in cilantro, cover and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lay sheets of puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface. Cut each one into 9 squares and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the meat mixture into the center of each square. Brush the edge with water, fold corner over to form a triangle, and press to seal. Do not overstuff the triangles, or they will burst in the oven. Place the patties onto a foil lined baking sheet leaving at least an inch between each one. Brush the tops lightly with beaten egg.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown all over. Serve hot for best flavor.
