Lamb Curry Pie

SERVES: 6
PREPARATION TIME: 2 hours
COOKING TIME: 1 hour

INGREDIENTS

• 30ml olive oil
• 1kg deboned leg of lamb, diced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 10ml coriander seeds
• 5 cardamom seeds
• 5ml ground cumin
• 1,25ml ground ginger
• 1,25ml ground cinnamon
• 10ml masala
• 5ml ground turmeric
• 5ml dried chilli flakes
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• 1 x 400ml tin coconut cream
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 45ml chutney
• 2 x 400g puff pastry
• 1 egg, beaten

STEP 1
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Heat some olive oil in a casserole. Add the meat and cook until browned all over, stirring occasionally. Add the onion and garlic and cook until soft.

STEP 2
Place the coriander and cardamom seeds in a mortar and pestle and ground until fine. Add the rest of the spices to the meat and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add lemon juice, tomatoes, coconut cream, and season with salt and pepper.

Cover the casserole with the lid and place in the oven. Cook for about 2 hours until the meat is soft. Add a little water if it cooks a bit dry. Once ready, remove from the oven and leave to cool to room temperature. Add chutney and stir.

STEP 3
Line a Le Creuset 26cm Pie Dish with one sheet of pastry. Spoon in the filling and place a Le Creuset Pie Bunny in the middle.

STEP 4
Cut the second pastry sheet into even strips of 2cm wide. Create a lattice effect, laying the strips on top of the filling until the pie is fully covered. Brush with egg and place into the oven to bake for 45 – 50 minutes, until the pastry is golden and crispy. Serve with chopped fresh tomatoes and atjar.
