Cooking Instructions

  1. Heat a large pot over high heat then brown the lamb in splash of oil. Remove from the pot then set aside.
  2. Fry the onions until soft and fragrant then add the garlic, tomatoes and tomato paste and cook for 5-10 minutes until the tomatoes start breaking down.

  6. Pre-heat the oven to 180°c.
  7. Shred the lamb meat, discarding any cartilage/bone.
  8. Mix the lamb with the reduced cooking liquid then season to taste and place the filling in an oven-proof dish then top with the puff pastry. 
  9. Crimp the sides then brush with the beaten egg.
  10. Cut a slit at the top of the pie to allow steam to escape then place in the oven.
  11. Allow to bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
  12. Remove from the oven then allow to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
