Mince in a Crust
Ingredients
- 1 oz margarine
- 4 oz onions skinned and chopped
- 1 lb lean mince
- 4 oz fresh white breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- salt and freshly ground pepper
- 12 oz self-raising flour
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 4 tbsp oil
- 4 tsp made mustard
- 3 oz cheddar cheese grated milk, to glaze sesame seeds
Instructions
- Melt the margarine in a large pan and cook the onion until soft. Add mince and brown evenly, then add the breadcrumbs and lemon juice. Adjust the seasoning.
- Sift the flour and curry powder into a bowl. Stir in the oil and enough cold water to bind to a firm but manageable dough.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle 25 x 33 cm (10 X 13 inches). Trim the edges. Spread with mustard to within 2.5 cm (1 inch) of the edge and sprinkle with the cheese.
- Spoon the savoury mixture down the centre. Dampen the edges and bring each edge over the filling. Seal.
- Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Roll out the trimmings and cut strips to garnish. Brush pastry with milk, arrange the decorative strips, reglaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut a slit on top and bake at 190°C (375°F) mark 5 for about 30 minutes.
