Cornish Pasty

[Naughty Cal]

We had some left over beef from Sunday lunch so I made some pasties for dinner last night. Again very simple to make, a great way to use up left overs and tastes great as well.

In a large pan fry onion, mushroom, potato, swede, carrot and diced beef. Fry until starting to soften and then add a little gravy. Season well with pepper.

Place the mixture into short crust pastry wrap up and then bake for twenty minutes.

 

OK i know these were not your traditional pasty shape, its surprisingly difficult to wrap them up!!

Ubder EU rules, to be called a Cornish Pasty, it has to be made in Cornwall, have a side crimp, and only contain beef, swede, and I forget what else.

Other rules state that Stilton Cheese has ti be made in a certain area, but does not include the village of Stilton!

OK Sheffield Pasty

If I hadn't just finished my breakfast bacon sandwich, this would make me feel hungry! It does look more like a spling loll or a Jamaica patty than a true tatty oggie, but it sounds like a tasty, filling winter warmer.

Greggs have recently got into trouble because, horror of horror, they sold these delicacies with peas in them and still maintained they are Cornish parties. What ever next.

so far we've got spling rolls and cornish parties, dare I suggest there are some undeclared herbs in these things?

 

Seriously good suggestion though, but I'll have to call mine Coal Canal Pasties

Maybe you could make it a head of time, freeze it, and then wrap it. Or maybe get muffin tins, fill with crust, fill and bake. I love to read your recipes...keep up the good cooking

[madcat]

Left over curry or chilli makes a good pasty filling

Looks very nice.

_{Form a large oval with the shortcrust, bring corners together lengthways and crimp with thumb and forefinger. However, yours look lovely in the sausage roll shape!}

 

 

 

_{A different variation is 1/4 tin of corned beef in the middle, a puff pastry square, sprinkle of black pepper and / or curry powder and then fold the square over diagonally, seal and bake.}

_{Remember to take a statin after though.}

And if dropped overboard your corned beef pasty could be retrieved with a magnet.

I think the idea was to remove the meat from the tin first, Bizzard.
