Beef and Vegetable Pasties

My hubby love love LOVES pasties, so here's a simple recipe I use to keep him happy :)

Ingredients
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 brown onion, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 garlic clove, crushed
300g lean beef mince
400g Sebago potatoes, peeled, diced, washed
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/3 cup coriander leaves, chopped
3 sheets frozen ready-rolled puff pastry, partially thawed
1 egg, lightly beaten

Method

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and salt. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until onion is very soft. Increase heat to high. Add cumin seeds, turmeric, chilli powder and garlic. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add mince. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned.

Place potatoes into a shallow microwavesafe dish. Cover. Microwave on HIGH (100%) power for 5 minutes or until just tender. Drain. Roughly mash.

Add potato to mince mixture. Mix well to combine. Transfer filling to a bowl. Set aside to cool completely. Stir in lemon juice and coriander.

Preheat oven to 200C. Line a large baking tray with baking paper.

Cut each sheet of pastry into 4 squares. Spoon filling into centre of each square. Fold each square in half on the diagonal to form a triangle. Use a fork to press pastry edges together to seal. Place onto prepared tray. Brush with egg. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden. Serve with green salad.

Enjoy!
