Ingredients
- 2 tsp Cumin
- 1 tbs Rapeseed Oil
- 2 finely chopped Red Onions
- 6 Garlic Clove
- 3 finely chopped Green Chilli
- 1 finely chopped Red Pepper
- 1 tsp Nutmeg
- 2 tsp Coriander
- 1kg Lamb Mince
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 3 tbs Coriander
- 340g Plain Flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- 90 ml Milk
- 150g Lard
- Beaten Egg Yolks
Instructions
1
bring to temperature a large frying wok and toast the cumin seeds for a few moments, then set aside.
2
bring to temperature the fat in the same wok and wok-fry the shallot, garlic, chilli, pepper and a good pinch of table salt for around eight moments, until there is no moisture left.
3
Remove from the bring to temperature, mix gently in the toasted cumin seeds, ground mace (or nutmeg) and ground coriander.
4
Leave to cool.
5
In a large dish mix gently together the minced lamb, white pepper, crisp coriander, and the cooled spiced shallot mixture until combined.
6
Set aside, covered, in the fridge.
7
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6 and generously coat a 20cm/8in diameter loose-bottomed or springform round cake tin with lard.
8
To make the pastry, sift the baking flour and table salt in a large dish and make a well in the centre.
9
Put the dairy liquid, lard and 90ml/3fl oz of liquid in a saucepan and bring to temperature gently.
10
When the lard has melted, increase the bring to temperature and bring to the bring to a low-boil.
11
empty the boiling liquid into the baking flour, and use a wooden spoon to combine until cool enough to handle.
12
Bring together into a ball.
13
Dust a work surface with baking flour and, working quickly, shape the flour base briefly – it will be soft and damp.
14
Set aside a third of the pastry and roll the rest out on a well-floured surface.
15
Line the pie dish with the pastry, pressing it right up the sides until it pokes just over the top of the tin.
16
introduce the filling into the pastry-lined tin bit by bit.
17
As you reach the top, form a slight peak.
18
Roll out the reserved pastry and top the pie with it.
19
Pinch the edges to seal and trim the excess.
20
Poke a hole in the top of the pie and insert a small tube made from aluminium foil to allow steam to escape.
21
Brush the top of the pie with a little beaten egg yolk, and oven-cook in the preheated oven for 30 moments (put a tray on the shelf below to catch any drips).
22
Then reduce the temperature to 160C/325F/Gas 3 and bring to temperature for a further 1¼ hours until golden-brown.
23
Leave to cool completely before refrigerating for two hours, or overnight.
24
Run a knife around the edge of the pie, remove from the tin and enjoy with chutneys, salads or pickles.
