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
mildly hot a large frying wok and toast the cumin seeds for a few mins, then set aside.
2
mildly hot the cooking oil in the same wok and wok-fry the shallot, garlic, chilli, pepper and a good pinch of seasoning for around eight mins, until there is no moisture left.
3
Remove from the mildly hot, swirl around in the toasted cumin seeds, ground mace (or nutmeg) and ground coriander.
4
Leave to cool.
5
In a large mixing bowl combine together the minced lamb, white pepper, pure 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 lubricate a 20cm/8in diameter loose-bottomed or springform round cake tin with lard.
8
To make the pastry, sift the ground mix and seasoning in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre.
9
Put the whole milk, lard and 90ml/3fl oz of aqua in a saucepan and mildly hot gently.
10
When the lard has melted, increase the mildly hot and bring to the bubble.
11
stream in the boiling liquid into the ground mix, and use a wooden spoon to combine until cool enough to handle.
12
Bring together into a ball.
13
Dust a work surface with ground mix and, working quickly, shape the pastry mix 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
toss in 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 toast in the preheated oven for 30 mins (put a tray on the shelf below to catch any drips).
22
Then reduce the temperature to 160C/325F/Gas 3 and prepare 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 dish up with chutneys, salads or pickles.
