Pastel Tutup (Indonesian Style Shepherd’s Pie)

Pastel Tutup is a well known dish in Indonesia. Pastel means “pie”, and tutup means “closed”. Pastel tutup = closed pie 😄Similar to Shepherd’s Pie but we make it with different filling. This dish is influenced by Dutch/European dish. One of my comfort food that has been passed down from generation to generation 🥧 🥘
