Beef and Mushroom Puffs Recipe
This recipe serves 4 - I used the bottom right portion of the cut out 'P' to create the stop of the exclamation point.
Alternatively, if you don't want to do letter shapes, you can roll the pastry out into 4 equal rectangles instead!
Lightly cover the puffs with foil after adding the filling - this will stop it from drying out in the oven.
Ingredients
- 200g lean beef mince
- 75g mushrooms, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp red onion, chopped
- 50ml hot beef or chicken stock
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp mixed herbs
- A bit of groundnut oil
- 300g puff pastry
- A beaten egg
Directions
- Roll out the pastry into a large rectangle to half a cm thickness. Cut into four equal rectangles. Then if you wish, cut out relevant portions to spell the word 'pie!' Chill for 15 minutes.
- Mix the soy sauce, honey and a bit of oil with the mince. Fry the onion and mince in a pan to brown.
- Add the mushrooms, followed by the stock, then leave to simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir in the herbs, then take off the heat and leave to cool completely.
- Take out your pastry and score a border roughly 1 cm from the edge of each rectangle/letter.
- Bake the pastry at 220 degrees C for 10 minutes.
- Remove, and use a knife to gently flatten down the centre. Spoon on the filling, then brush the pastry edges with the beaten egg.
- Lightly cover with foil then return to the oven for 15 minutes until golden brown.
