Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the lamb mince to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, roughly 8-10 minutes.
- Mix in the cinnamon and ground cumin, stirring well to evenly coat the lamb mixture.
- Add the diced tomatoes and finely chopped spearmint. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the flavors meld together.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to smooth out any creases and to thin it slightly.
- Cut each pastry sheet into four squares.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the lamb mixture onto the center of each pastry square.
- Fold each square into a triangle by bringing one corner over the filling to meet the opposite corner.
- Press the edges together firmly, then use a fork to crimp the edges, ensuring they are well sealed.
- Place the prepared pasties on the lined baking sheet, leaving a small space between each.
- Make a small slit or poke a few holes on the top of each pasty to allow steam to escape.
- Optionally, brush the tops with a little beaten egg or milk for a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove the pasties from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy your lamb pasties warm, either as a main dish or a hearty snack.
Tips:
- Preheat the Oven: Ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking the pasties to achieve a perfectly golden and crisp pastry.
- Handle Puff Pastry with Care: Keep the puff pastry chilled until you are ready to use it, and avoid overworking it to maintain its flaky texture.
- Season Generously: Taste the lamb mixture before filling the pasties. Adjust seasoning as needed, keeping in mind that the flavors will intensify slightly during baking.
- Seal the Edges: Make sure to seal the edges of the pasties well to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking. A fork or crimping tool can help achieve a tight seal.
- Vent the Pasties: Cut small slits on the top of each pasty before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.
- Bake Until Golden: Bake the pasties until they are a deep golden color to ensure the puff pastry is fully cooked and crispy.
Your homemade lamb pasties are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce or side salad for a satisfying meal. These pasties are not only bursting with flavor but also a great way to enjoy a comforting and delicious dish.
