Treat your ingredients with care...
- Puff pastry — Ensure that the pastry is rolled out thinly and evenly to achieve a crisp and flaky crust.
- Minced lamb and beef — Use high-quality meat for the best flavor and texture. If desired, you can also mix in other minced meats such as pork or veal for variation.
- Dried herbs — Crush the dried thyme and rosemary between your fingers before adding them to the filling to release their aromatic oils.
Tips & Tricks
- For a richer flavor, you can add a splash of red wine to the meat mixture while it simmers.
- If you prefer a more finely textured filling, you can pulse the minced meat in a food processor before cooking.
- Serve the Katt Pie with a side of mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Leftover Katt Pie can be refrigerated and reheated the next day for a delicious lunch or dinner.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile of the pie according to your preferences.
Serving advice
Serve the Katt Pie hot, straight from the oven, for the best taste and texture. Accompany it with a fresh green salad or your favorite side dishes.
Presentation advice
To present the Katt Pie beautifully, cut it into individual portions and arrange them on a serving platter. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme for an elegant touch.
