Kiwi-Style Mince and Cheese Pie
A single portion of New Zealand cooking, ready in 30 minutes with 8 minutes of prep. Written for one, so there is nothing to halve and nothing to waste.
Method
- 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan 180°C).
- 2
Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes until soft, then add the mince and brown well.
- 3
Stir in the tomato puree, Worcestershire sauce and stock, and simmer for 8–10 minutes until thickened. Mix the cornflour with a splash of water, stir in to thicken further, then season and stir through the cheddar.
- 4
Spoon the mince into a small ovenproof dish, top with the pastry trimmed to fit, and press the edges to seal.
- 5
Brush the pastry with beaten egg and cut a small slit in the top. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and puffed.
