What's for tea?

I recently found an amazing recipe for a 'yum as' dip.

It went quite nicely with my little lamb pies, so I thought I'd share it with you.

Little lamby pies

300gms (ish) minced lamb

1 onion diced

2-3 cloves of garlic crushed

1 tsp cumin

1 chopped chili

2 tsp paprika

2 Tbsp tomato paste

1 hand full of fresh mint chopped

2 Tbsp of pine nuts or sunflower seeds

Vege of your choice I used a big bunch of chopped kale but you can do what ever you fancy, or none at all!

2 sheets of puff pastry

Oven to 180C

Cut the pastry into 1/4's and pop into 'monstor muffin' pans or something equivalent.

Brown mince, drain fat, add onion, garlic & spices, then T-paste, vege, mint & seeds. simmer, adding more liquid if needed ( this mix is dryer than your normal Spag bog mix) Set aside.

Bake some kind of wedges. I made kumera wedges. Bung your little pies in the oven until the pastry puffs nicely.

Yummy dip

Caramelize an onion in 1 Tbsp of butter for around 20min. Pop in your blender/mixer with 1 Tbsp of wine or cider vinegar, 1 Tbsp of whole grain mustard & 3/4 Cup mayonnaise.

serve it all up with fresh green salad type thingy. Yum!

P.S: I often make this mince mix and pop it in a free form gallet shape with home made short pastry, making a layer of grated cheese on the bottom first in super nice.

Enjoy! xx
