Delicious Lamb and Rosemary Pies Recipe - A British Classic

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 pound lamb shoulder, diced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons flour (for thickening)
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets (thawed)
  • 1 egg beaten, for egg wash

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Lamb Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced lamb and brown on all sides.

    Make sure not to overcrowd the pan for even cooking.
  2. Sauté Vegetables

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent.

    This adds depth to the flavor.
  3. Add Seasonings

    Stir in the chopped rosemary, chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, diced carrots, and peas. Season with salt and pepper.

    Let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  4. Thicken the Mixture

    Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes.

    This will help bind the filling together.
  5. Assemble the Pies

    Roll out puff pastry and cut into circles. Fill with the lamb mixture and cover with another pastry circle. Seal the edges.

    Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
  6. Bake the Pies

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the tops with beaten egg and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

    Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking.
