Delicious chicken mince pies with potato topping, ideal for tonight's dinner!
Ingredients:
  • 56.88 gm olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled, chopped
  • 2 zucchini, chopped
  • 400g chicken mince
  • 30.00 ml plain flour
  • 318.75 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 82.50 ml flat-leaf parsley leaves, chopped
  • 4 sheets frozen ready-rolled shortcrust pastry, thawed
  • 500g Desiree potatoes, peeled, thinly sliced, washed
Instructions:
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Sauté onion, carrots, and zucchini for 10 minutes until soft. Increase heat, add mince, and cook for 5 minutes until browned. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in stock, bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Add parsley, season with salt and pepper, and let it cool.
  • Prepare 4 pie dishes by greasing them. Cut out 4 circles from pastry sheets, each 2cm wider than the pie dish using the dish as a guide. Line the pie dishes with the pastry circles and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven and a baking tray to 190C. Prick the pastry bases of pie dishes with a fork, then place onto the hot tray. Bake for 10 minutes, remove the pies, and increase the oven temperature to 200C.
  • Place a generous amount of potatoes on a microwave-safe plate, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH power for 2 minutes, or until the potatoes are almost tender. Drain any excess liquid. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes for a consistent cook.
  • Evenly distribute the mince among the pie cases, gently pressing down to ensure the filling is level with the tops of the pies. Add the potatoes on top, brush with the remaining oil, and season with salt. Place the pies on a hot tray and bake for 40 minutes or until they turn golden. Serve and enjoy.
