Veal, Ham and Tongue Pie

Leave a reply

Hot water crust pastry
1½ pounds plain flour
2 level teaspoons salt
½ pound lard
½ pint water

Filling
¾ pound breast of veal
¾ pound gammon
¾ pound cooked tongue
½ Spanish onion, finely chopped
Thyme
Marjoram
Chopped fresh tarragon
Chopped fresh parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 hard-boiled eggs

Garnish
Beaten egg
Aspic jelly

Hot water crust pastry: Sift flour and salt into a large mixing bowl. Melt the lard and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. Add to the dry ingredients and mix quickly to a soft, pliable dough. Line a rectangular pie mould with two-thirds of the dough, pressing it well down into the corners.

Filling: Cut the veal, gammon and cooked tongue into cubes, and mix with finely chopped Spanish onion and generous amounts of thyme, marjoram and chopped fresh tarragon and parsley. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Half-fill the mould with the meat and herb mixture; arrange hard-boiled eggs on top and then fill mould with the remaining meat and herb mixture.

Roll out remaining pastry and cover the top of the pie, pressing edges well together. Trim edges and decorate with “leaves” cut from pastry trimmings. Brush with beaten egg; make three small holes in the pastry lid for the steam to escape, and bake in a fairly hot oven (425° – M6) for ½ hour. Then reduce heat to 375° – M4 and cooked for a further 1¼ hours. (If top becomes too brown, cover with a sheet of aluminium foil.) Allow pie to become quite cold. Remove rectangular pie mould and pour liquid aspic jelly (cool) through the holes in the pastry with the aid of a paper funnel. Leave pie overnight before cutting.

Sabra Musaka (Baked Aubergines, Stuffed With Meat)

Leave a reply

Preparation time 15-20 minutes
Cooking time 50 minutes
Serves 6-7

What to prepare:
4 medium-size aubergines (7 ozs. each)
Salt, pepper
2 medium onions, chopped
Oil
9 ozs. beef, minced
Parsley, finely chopped
Coriander spice
1 can ready-made techina (9 ozs.)
(If you wish, aubergines may be replaced by potatoes)

Without peeling, cut aubergines lengthwise, into slices ½-inch thick. Lay slices on a flat board, sprinkle with salt, and leave to drain for ½-hour.

Fry chopped onions in a little oil, until golden. Add minced meat, continue to fry, stirring frequently to prevent meat sticking together. Fry meat until it turns darkish colour. Season with salt, pepper and coriander spice. Add some water to mixture, and let simmer on low heat for 20-30 minutes. Continue to stir during cooking. Fry aubergines on each side until they turn reddish, transfer to a dry dish to allow oil to drain. Arrange half the quantity of fried aubergines in a small baking dish. Cover aubergines with the meat, without gravy. Cover meat with remainder of aubergines, forming top layer. Pour gravy over top layer. Bake in moderate oven for 15-20 minutes.

How to serve:
Cut into squares and serve in flat dishes. Pour spoonful of technia over each helping.

Serve as entré with beer or wines.
