New Zealand pie
New Zealand pie
A New Zealand pie is a popular handheld snack that consists of a savory filling enclosed in a flaky pastry crust. These pies are a common food item in New Zealand and are often enjoyed as a quick meal or snack. Some popular fillings include mince beef, steak and cheese, chicken and mushroom, and vegetarian options. They are typically served hot and can be found in bakeries, cafes, and convenience stores throughout New Zealand.
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until cooked through. Add the onion, garlic, and carrot and cook until the vegetables are softened.
- Stir in the tomato paste, broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir until well combined. Cook for a few more minutes until the filling has thickened.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Roll out the pie crust and cut it into 8 equal-sized circles (4 for the bottom crust and 4 for the top crust).
- Place the bottom crusts in individual pie dishes or on a baking sheet. Spoon the filling into each crust.
- Cover each pie with a top crust and crimp the edges to seal the pies. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg to create a golden finish.
- Bake the pies in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let the pies cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes
If you are using ready-made pie crusts, the preparation time can be around 20-30 minutes to prepare the filling and assemble the pies. If you are making your own pie crust from scratch, it can take an additional 30-60 minutes to make and chill the dough before assembling the pies.
