Nigerian Meat Pie
These Nigerian meat pies are delightful pastries filled with a savory mixture of minced meat, potatoes, and carrots. The pastry is rich and slightly flaky, while the filling is moist and incredibly flavorful, making them the ultimate comfort food. Chef's tips: (1) Do not overmix the pastry dough; mix just until combined to ensure a tender crust. (2) Ensure the meat filling is completely cooled before assembling the pies to prevent the dough from becoming soggy. (3) Poking holes in the pies before baking allows steam to escape, preventing them from bursting. (4) Brush with beaten egg for a beautiful golden-brown crust.
