Beef and kumara pasties are a delightful and savory dish that bring together tender ground beef and sweet potatoes, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry. This satisfying meal can be served as a main course or a hearty snack, and it’s perfect for gatherings or family dinners. The combination of curry powder adds a warming spice to the filling, creating a comforting and delicious experience with every bite.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion.
- Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small, evenly sized pieces.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the pan. Cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the curry powder and cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the flavors.
- Add the tomato puree and diced sweet potatoes to the beef mixture. Stir well to combine.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the mixture simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender, about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. If they are not already rolled, roll each sheet to about 1/8-inch thickness.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into equal-sized squares or rectangles, depending on your preference.
- Spoon a generous amount of the beef and kumara filling onto one half of each puff pastry piece, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Fold the other half of the pastry over the filling to create a sealed pocket.
- Press the edges together with a fork to crimp and seal the pasties securely.
- Arrange the pasties on the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, brush the tops of the pasties with a beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the pasties from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm, either on their own or with a side salad and your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- Make sure to cook the beef and sweet potatoes thoroughly before encasing them in the pastry. This ensures the filling is fully cooked and flavorful.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the puff pastry sheets evenly to maintain consistent cooking times for each pasty.
- Seal the edges of the puff pastry well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative and secure seal.
- If the pastry edges start to brown too quickly in the oven, cover them with aluminum foil to avoid burning while the rest of the pastry cooks.
- Let the pasties cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the filling to set, making them easier to handle and enjoy.
These beef and kumara pasties are not only delicious but also relatively simple to prepare. The rich flavors of the beef, sweet potatoes, and aromatic curry powder create a perfect harmony that is complemented by the flaky puff pastry. Whether you’re serving them at a family dinner, as a snack, or at a special gathering, these pasties are sure to be a hit with everyone. Enjoy your flavorful and hearty creation!
