Corned beef pie is a hearty and delicious dish that’s perfect for a comforting meal. Here’s a simple recipe to make corned beef pie:
Ingredients:
- 500g (about 1 lb) store-bought or homemade shortcrust pastry
- 340g (12 oz) can of corned beef, chopped into small cubes
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 beaten egg (for egg wash)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 200Β°C (390Β°F).
- Prepare the filling: In a large saucepan, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until soft and translucent. Then add the diced potatoes and carrots. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
- Add the corned beef: Add the chopped corned beef to the saucepan. Stir well to combine with the vegetables. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Season the filling: Season the filling with Worcestershire sauce, tomato ketchup, salt, and pepper. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste. Stir well to combine.
- Roll out the pastry: Roll out about two-thirds of the pastry on a lightly floured surface to line a 20cm (8-inch) pie dish. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
- Fill the pie: Spoon the corned beef filling into the pastry-lined pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
- Top the pie: Roll out the remaining pastry to make the pie lid. Place the pastry lid over the filling. Seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork. Trim off any excess pastry.
- Make slits: Using a sharp knife, make a few slits on the surface of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking. This will prevent the pie from becoming soggy.
- Egg wash: Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg. This will give the pie a beautiful golden color when baked.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
- Serve: Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Slice and serve hot, with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.
Enjoy your homemade corned beef pie!
