Cooking Mama's Cooking Challenge #40: Meat Pie

 Meat pies!!! I'm british so I should be able to nail this one no problem. easy as.. as a.. 

Slice an onion!

gonna do 2 onions because they're kinda small and i always have too many onions in my kitchen

Slice!

its your favourite! the ol' 3 parter.

Chop up!

on second thoughts maybe this is a lot of onion..

Saute!

We sautee some beef&pork mince, all them onions, and mix with tomato passata and white wine. Just enough to flavour it i guess without making it too saucy.

Pan fry some more!

No other seasonings!!! No salt, no pepper, no garlic... Mama why are you like this?

Add the ingredients!

Ok decided to look up the proportions because i'm not in the mood to ruin pastry. We're adding 200g flour, 100g butter, and just a splash of water.

Knead!

knead for speed: hot pocket pursuit

Roll out the dough!

surprisingly, its going alright

Cut shape!

this is the smallest circular cutty thing ive got... might be a bit too small really, do i really want to spend my whole evening making micropasties?

Fold the pie crust!

goddamn you know what these are too small to roll, so i went back and rolled them out even flatter/thinner to about 1.5x the size and im having more luck.

Set the timer!

Here they are ready for the oven, I guess these are more like... empanadas than british style pasties?

Finish!

****

Dare I say, for once, mine look even more like an actual shape than Mamas?? These came out well, the mixed meat and extra onions helped make up for a lack of seasoning. Even better with a tangy chilli sauce dip. Good cause i made like a billion of them again.
