🥧 How To Make Jamie Oliver Mince And Onion Pie

1. Make the Pastry Dough: Combine flour, salt, and cold butter in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Add the beaten egg, vinegar, and ice water, pulsing until a dough ball forms. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2. Sauté the Onion: Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onion for 5 minutes until it softens.
3. Cook the Beef Mince: Add the garlic and beef mince to the pan, cooking for 5 minutes until the beef is browned.
4. Thicken the Filling: Sprinkle flour over the beef, stir, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce, and simmer for 10 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
5. Season and Cool: Season the filling with salt and pepper as you like. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
6. Prepare the Pie Base: Roll out two-thirds of the chilled pastry on a floured surface to a 0.12-inch thickness. Line the bottom and sides of your pie dish with the pastry.
7. Assemble and Seal the Pie: Pour the cooled filling into the pastry-lined dish. Roll out the remaining pastry for the top, place it over the filling, and seal the edges with beaten egg. Trim excess pastry and cut a steam vent in the top.
8. Bake the Mince and Onion Pie: Place the pie on a preheated baking sheet in an oven at 392°F (200°C/180°C fan/gas 6) and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden and bubbling.
9. To Serve: Let the pie stand for a few minutes after baking, then serve warm with your choice of sides.

💭 Recipe Tips:

• Use Cold Butter for Pastry: For a flaky pastry, ensure that the butter is cold before you start making the dough. This prevents the butter from melting too early during the baking process, which is crucial for achieving layers in the pastry.
• Let the Meat Filling Cool: Before assembling the pie, allow the meat filling to cool down. Adding hot filling to the pastry can cause it to become soggy before it even goes into the oven.
• Egg Wash for a Golden Finish: Brush the top of the pie with a beaten egg before baking. This will give the pie a beautiful golden color and a nice glossy finish.
• Thickening the Filling: Make sure the filling is thick enough before adding it to the pastry. A runny filling can make the pastry soggy, so let it simmer until it’s nicely thickened.
• Preheat the Baking Sheet: Placing the pie on a preheated baking sheet helps to cook the bottom crust of the pie quickly, preventing it from becoming soggy.
