I’m not one to go and buy a meat pie, but I will make my own, knowing that they are full of wholesome ingredients that are going to nourish my body.

Here is a recipe for my meat pie filling. For the pastry, I like to use the same recipe as I do for these sausage rolls, but any pastry can be used.


INGREDIENTS:

• 500g Beef Mince mince nothing else added!)
• 2 Tblspn of Coconut Oil (or oil of choice)
• 1/2 Leek (finely sliced – white part only)
• 1 x clove Garlic (finely diced)
• 2 x sticks Celery (diced)
• 2 x Carrots (grated)
• 1 x Zucchini (grated)
• 1/4 cup Coconut Aminos (*see notes)
• 1/2 cup Meat Stock/BoneBroth
• 1-2 tsp Himalayan Salt
• 2 tsp Ground Cumin
• 2 tsp Ground Tumeric
  
  
  
  

METHOD:

1. Place mince and garlic into a fry pan and cook until brown.
2. Add all other ingredients and allow to simmer for 20 minutes, add more stock if needed.
3. Divide mince mixture equally into ramekins and top with prepared pastry.
4. Dependant on the pastry you are using, cook in a medium oven for 25 minutes, or until pastry is brown.
5. Serve with salad or roasted vegetables.
   
   

NOTES:

* Tamari can be substituted for the coconut aminos.
* Mince mixture can be cooked up in advance and frozen to be used for an easier dinner.
