Maltese beef and pea pie. ( My mom's meat pastisti filling)
I made a very quick oil based pie pastry yesterday. It turned out just a little too dry. That being said,bI got it into and on top of the pan. Smile.

A good-looking pie. I've been starting to make meat pies, but the smaller, one-person ones (as well as empanadas with much the same fillings). What's special about Maltese ones?

Is our family Maltese, all spice. I don't post this filling recipe much but here it is. I will look for the spice recipe for you.
Thank you. Is the meat really chopped, as opposed to ground meat? I definitely prefer chopped even though it takes more effort.
Here are the ingredients for an empanada filling I devised recently that I've been liking -
- Miripoix - all finely chopped
- 1/2 medium yellow onion
- 1/2 stalk celery
- 1/2 medium carrot
- 1/3 Anaheim pepper finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic forced through garlic press
- 1T tomato paste
- 2 tsp Thai red curry paste
- ~3/4 lb flank steak finely chopped (chilled first)
- splash soy sauce
- splash Thai fish sauce (Red Boat)
- splash of heavy cream
- 1 russet potato peeled and diced small, steamed 7 minutes
Any beef pie that contains 6 onions has got to be good.
