LK's Products You'll Need

Ingredients:

  • 1 Large onion, sliced
  • 2 Rolls puff pastry, defrosted
  • 1 Garlic clove, crushed
  • 500g Beef Mice
  • 1 Pack Punnet button mushroom, sliced
  • 1 tomato paste
  • Dash Robertson Garlic Salt or Ina Paarman’s Kitchen Chilli & Garlic Seasoning
  • Olive oil, for frying
  • 1 tbsp. Sugar, to eliminate the bitterness of the tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp. Ina Paarman’s Kitchen Vegetable Stock Powder
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • A dash of fresh thyme

Directions:

  1. Warm the oil in the LK's skillet and gently cook the onion until tender. Add the fresh thyme and season with salt and pepper sufficient to taste. Once the onions have nicely caramelised, turn off the heat and remove the skillet.
  2. Fry the mushrooms in a skillet while adding oil and stir in the garlic. Set aside the mushrooms when they get golden brown and start to soften.
  3. Prepare the mince in a separate pan. Add the tomato paste and sugar and allow to cook for another 5 minutes. Add the Vegetable Stock (mixed with water) and give it a nice stir. Spice with salt and pepper and Chilli & Garlic Seasoning and set aside.
    Note:The mince shouldn’t be too watery as it could potentially make the filling fall through the pastry.
  4. With the LK's Non-stick spray, spray the braai grid on both sides.
  5. Unroll one of the puff pastry rolls and place it on the grid's bottom layer.
  6. Spread the mince mixture evenly by spooning a small amount of the mince mixture onto the puff pastry.
  7. Add mushrooms and onions on top of the mince layer. Add some thyme leaves and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  8. Unroll the second layer of puff pastry over the top and gently seal the edges of the pie by pressing it gently.
  9. To give the pie a great crispy finish on the braai, brush the top with olive oil using a basting brush.
  10. Put the grid in place and braai the pie over medium-hot coals. For 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown, crispy, and cooked through, turn it frequently.
  11. Cut into squares and serve as a side dish at your next braai and enjoy!
