SAUCE PREPARATION

2.  Add 4 tbsp. of vegetable oil to the sauce pan and sauté onion. When the onion is caramelized, add minced meat, seasoning and spices and sauté for 3 minutes.

3.  Add diced carrots and Irish potato and 200ml of water cook and simmer until potato and carrots are tender. Give it a turn and let it cool down completely before use.

 PASTRY PREPARATION

 Sieve flour into a bowl, add margarine, salt and rub into a crumby texture.

 Add cold water and combine flour gently. Don’t over knead, just combine the flour together and let it rest in a refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes.

Cut dough into equal parts. On a flour-dusted surface, lightly knead dough into circle, cut with a meat pie cutter and fill in the sauce, grease the dough edge with whisked egg to bind the pie and press down the meat pie cutter and that will give  you a very lovely meat pie shape.

Grease pan and arrange the pie, egg-wash and bake in a pre-heated oven of 160Cº to 180Cº for 35 to 45 minutes and and thereafter, meat pie is ready to serve.
