Llandysul Lamb And Rosemary Pie

Ingredients

  • 500g diced lamb
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 300ml beef stock
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 500g puff pastry
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced lamb and cook until browned. Remove the lamb from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
  5. Pour in the beef stock and add the browned lamb back into the pan. Stir in the tomato paste and add the fresh rosemary. Season with salt and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  6. Transfer the lamb filling to a pie dish. Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the filling, trimming any excess pastry. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  7. Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
  8. Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
