Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Saute Pan
  • Paper cupcake cases

Ingredients

For the Crust

  • 400 g Almond Meal
  • 4 Eggs free range, organic, obviously
  • 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
  • Pinch of salt onion powder, garlic powder & any other herbs you fancy

For the Filling

  • 500 g minced beef I always try to get grass fed
  • 500 ml Beef Stock I made this a few weeks ago with lots of bones, and froze lots of batches
  • 1 red onion only because I’d run out of brown onions, diced
  • 1/2 Sweet potato diced
  • 1 carrot diced
  • 4 mushrooms
  • Pinch Garlic powder salt, oregano & any other herbs you select

Instructions

  • First, mix the crust ingredients together to form a big ball of dough.
  • Next, roll the "pastry" out and form into paper cupcake cases, reserving about a third of the dough mixture for the lids. You should be able to make about eight individual pie cases, more if you roll it out a bit thinner.
  • Cook these for ten minutes at 200°C until they become hard, but not golden.

  • Meanwhile, sauté the onion in a spoonful of coconut oil, and add the minced beef after a couple of minutes. Once browned, add the sweet potatoes and carrots and let them cook for a few minutes.
  • Add the stock, mushrooms, seasoning, and herbs. Let it simmer for about 15 minutes, until it has a good “pie” consistency.
  • Take the filling off the heat and spoon it into the pie cases.
  • Once filled to the top, roll out the remaining dough and cut it into lid shapes to match the cases.
  • Put lids on all of the pies, forming a seal around the edges.
  • Return the pies to the oven for another ten minutes, until they start to turn golden.
