I've haven't cooked these yet, but these mini meat pies look delicious! No swan required.
Ingredients
* 1 tbs vegetable oil
* 1 brown onion, halved, finely chopped
* 2 garlic cloves, crushed
* 500g lean beef mince
* 1 carrot, peeled, coarsely grated
* 25g (1/4 cup) powdered gravy (Gravox Traditional brand)
* 250ml (1 cup) boiling water
* 2 sheets (25 x 25cm) ready-rolled shortcrust pastry, just thawed
* 2 sheets (25 x 25cm) ready-rolled puff pastry, just thawed
* 1 egg, lightly whisked
* Tomato ketchup, to serve
Method
1. Heat oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until onion softens. Add the mince and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to break up any lumps, for 5 minutes or until mince changes colour. Add the carrot and stir until well combined.
2. Meanwhile, place gravy powder in a heatproof jug. Add boiling water and whisk with a fork until combined. Add to mince mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Cover and set aside for 30 minutes to cool.
3. Preheat oven to 180°C. Cut the shortcrust pastry sheets into 24 even squares. Line twenty-four 40ml (2-tbs) capacity mini muffin pans with the shortcrust pastry squares. Spoon mince mixture among pastry cases.
4. Cut puff pastry sheets into 24 even squares. Top each pie with a pastry square. Use a small sharp knife to trim excess pastry. Brush tops with egg.
5. Bake in oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and set aside in the pans for 5 minutes to cool. Serve pies with tomato ketchup.
