These awesome curried beef mince pies are quick and easy to make. You can use store-bought pastry, but we are using the pastry from yesterday's episode, which is just as quick to make - and twice as nice!!!
Ingredients
For the Filling
  • 700g Beef mince
  • 30g Garam masala spice mix
  • 5ml Salt
  • 5ml Sugar
  • 5ml Ground ginger
  • 5ml Garlic powder
  • 60ml Oil
  • 200ml Chicken or beef stock
  • 30ml Cornflour mixed with a little water
For Frying
  • 30ml Oil
For Assembly & Finishing
  • 1 Egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 Egg yolk mixed with 15ml of water
Instructions
  1. Starting with the filling, place the mince beef, oil, garam masala, salt, sugar, ground ginger and garlic powder in a mixing bowl.
  2. Massage this all into the beef for a few minutes until everything is very well mixed.
  3. Add 30ml of oil to a wok or pan over medium high heat. Fry the mince for 8 to 10 minutes until separate and cooked through.
  4. Pour in the stock and bring this to boil.
  5. Mix the cornflour with a little water and pour this into the pan. Bring the mixture back to a boil and continue to boil for 60 seconds until thickened. Remove the pan from the heat.
  6. Allow the filling to cool completely.
  7. Remove the pastry from the refrigerator. Weigh the pastry and divide it into 10 equal portions.
  8. Flour the work surface. Working with one portion of dough, flatten the dough into a rectangular shape.
  9. Flour the top of the dough as well. Using your rolling pin, roll the dough out into a lager rectangle of slightly bigger than 20cm by 15cm, or 8 inches by 6 inches. Trim off the rough edges. You can keep the off-cuts to re-roll at the end.
  10. Transfer the rectangle to a piece of grease-proof paper and spoon some of the filling across one half of the pastry leaving about 12mm or half an inch clear around the edges.
  11. Brush the edge with the beaten egg. Use the paper to lift and flip the blank pastry over the pie and press the edges together.
  12. Use a fork to press and pattern the edges to secure them.
  13. Use a paring knife to punch 2 holes into the top of the pie. Transfer the pie to a lightly greased baking sheet. Continue until all your pies are formed.
  14. Brush the pies with an egg-wash consisting of an egg yolk whisked together with 15ml of water.
  15. Bake the pies in a preheated oven at 200c or 400f for 30 minutes until golden and crispy.
  16. Remove the pies from the oven and serve immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.
  17. The uncooked pies can be frozen for up 6 months. To cook these, follow the exact same procedure as for the fresh pies.

Traditional Cape Malay Bobotie Samosas. Crispy, Spicy Bobotie Samosas Wrapped with Phyllo.
Author: 
Recipe type: Curry
Cuisine: Cape Malay
 
Phyllo samosas filled with traditional Cape Malay Bobotie. In our previous episode we made perfect phyllo pastry. Here we use this phyllo to wrap tasty bobotie samosas.
Ingredients
  • 500g Ground Beef or Lamb
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Slice white bread, crust removed, cut into blocks
  • 120ml Milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ Tbs Sugar
  • 15ml Lemon juice
  • 1 Egg Lightly beaten
  • 30g Butter
Instructions
  1. To start, place the milk and bread in a jug and mash the bread into the milk until you have a paste. Set this aside.
  2. Heat a wok or pan over medium high heat. Add the butter and fry the onion for 6 to 8 minutes until soft and slightly browned.
  3. Add the ground beef and chop this into the onion. Minced meat has the tendency to clump when fried. You need to chop it apart to get a nice even texture.
  4. Once the mince is separated, add the garam masala, salt, cracked black pepper, sugar and lemon juice. Stir this in until combined.
  5. Add the milk bread paste and stir this in thoroughly, then remove the wok from the heat.
  6. Pour in the lightly beaten egg and stir this in. Set the pan aside to cool.
  7. Unpack your phyllo pastry and cut it into strips. The wider the strips, the larger your samosas will be. The size is entirely up to you, but whatever width you choose, the length must be 5 times that of the width. I have cut my strips to 90mm, and the corresponding length is 450mm.
  8. Brush a strip of phyllo lightly with the melted butter. Place a heaped tablespoon of the bobotie at the end of the phyllo.
  9. Fold the pastry at 45 degrees over the boboti, then fold it straight upward, then again at 45 degrees and so on, until the samosa is formed.
  10. Continue to form the remaining samosas.
  11. Cover a baking sheet in foil and lightly grease the foil. Transfer the samosas to the baking sheet and bake them in a preheated oven at 200c or 400f for 15 minutes until crispy and lightly golden.
  12. Remove the pastries from the oven and serve immediately with fruit chutney or mango atchar.
