Ingredients

  • 500 g Beef mince
  • 200 g Mushrooms - sliced
  • 1 Large brown onion - finely diced
  • 3 Garlic cloves - chopped
  • 50 g Butter
  • 50 g Gravy powder
  • 100 g AdVital powder
  • 500 g Water
  • 20 g Rosemary - dried
  • 20 g Thyme - dried
  • 30 g Cornflour
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1/2 Packet of Short crust pastry (for the Pie Bases)
  • 1/2 Packet of puff pastry (for the Pie Lids)
  • 3 Eggs ( whisked for egg wash)

Instructions

  • In a large based Saucepan, melt the butter & fry the onions for 10 minutes until golden brown, add the garlic & fry for a further 2 minutes.
  • Add the mushrooms & fry for a further 10 minutes on medium heat, add the dried herbs & stir.
  • Add the beef mince, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, fry it off until it has all browned nicely.
  • Add half of the water & scrape the bottom of the pan to remove anything that has stuck, this will give great flavour to the finished product.
  • With the other half of the water, whisk in the gravy powder & cornflour, add this to the pan, season with salt & pepper, turn the heat to low & cook for 30-40 minutes until the sauce has thickened, stir through the AdVital at the end.
  • Allow the mixture to cool to room temp.

To Assemble

  • Using a ring cutter, cut out your desired sizes for the pastry, remembering it will shrink, so make it bigger than you think it will be!
  • Spray a 12x4 part muffin tray with spray oil, then gently press the short crust pastry discs into the tins, bake at 180 for 15 minutes until they are golden brown.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, fill the empty shells with the pie mix.
  • Using a circle cookie cutter, cut the desired size with the puff pastry, place it on top and press the edges to completely seal the mixture inside.
  • Whisk the eggs together & brush the top with egg.
  • Place on a tray & bake at 200°c for 12-15 minutes until the puff pastry has puffed up & golden brown.
  • Allow to cool on the bench for 20 minutes (If you can!)
