Meatpies and Sour mayonnaise dip

For a while I struggled with pricing my meatpies. Not for the pure pricing difficulty but for the need to make them cheap yet packed with flavor. I didn't think that I could achieve flavor for cheap, then I thought about how my grandmother did not have a lot of access to some of the condiments we have today. How cooking to her was just about using the right pot and correct heat. With that in mind I came up with two meatpie recipes, different for the kind of ingredients used mostly and also the pricing. The one that I share here is the simplest, and it uses the cheapest ingredients for the most flavor. I hope you enjoy! #MyCookbook

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Begin by making the ROUX: Heat butter in a saucepan. As is melts and starts bubbling, add the flour and stir continuously until lightly browned. Set aside to cool

* Step 2

To make the FILLING: Heat up oil on medium and sautee the onions until fragrant and soft. Stir in the chilli peppers

* Step 3

Add the beef and break up huge lumps of mince as it cooks. Add seasoning, close lid and cook until no longer pink (5 to 10minutes)

* Step 4

Add carrots, green bell peppers, and carrots, stir to incorporate followed by water. Simmer for a few more minutes before stirring in the roux to thicken the sauce. Set aside to cool

* Step 5

* Step 6

While the filling cools, make the PASTRY: Thoroughly mix the flour, sugar, and baking powder. Then cube your soft cold butter and rub it into the flour mixture until crumbly resembling bread crumbs

* Step 7

Make a well in the crumbly mixture and pour one beaten egg into it. Mix it in but not too long

* Step 8

Add cold water to the dough and form into a ball (seal with a handful of flour if the mixture feels too wet). Wrap the ball in cling firm and refrigerate for 30minutes to let come together

* Step 9

While assembling the pies to your preferred shapes, preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper

* Step 10

Once all pies are assembled, beat the other egg with a teaspoon of water and use it to brush the tops of the pies before baking

* Step 11

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden brown

* Step 12
