Meat pies without dough?
One channel on YouTube named Lieblingrezepte shared online a fast, cheap, and easy recipe for making meat pies. A meat pie is a delicious and chunky pie filled with meat and other savory ingredients. Like any other pies, it is baked, fried, or deep-fried at a high temperature resulting in changes in the color of the pastry to a golden or brown color.
Heating at a high temperature greatly increases the pastry’s richness and flavor.
Every cook has different techniques in cooking the pie. They need to achieve the pastry effect while cooking the meat inside that passes food regulations. The cooking strategy usually depends on the meat used because some meat with connective tissue can become more tender at high temperatures. Other meats become tough at higher temperatures while others precook the meat.
Meat pies can be traced back to the day.
Meat pie is found in the Neolithic Period, around 9500 BC. Ancient Egyptians’ meals were basic pies made from oat, wheat, rye, and barley, and filled with honey and baked over hot coals. As for the Greeks, there are some similarities to the current meat pie. They also used a flour-water paste that resembles a pie pastry and filled it with meat.
Eventually, pastry became a common dish in medieval times. By the turn of the 14th century, it was called a “pye” or “pie”. There were some people who improved the pie. The French and Italians redefined the pastry of the pie. They made them tastier by adding butter, rolling, and folding the dough.
Nevertheless, you can always cook meat pie in an easy way.
This channel shared a beginner’s guide to cooking meat pie. You will need to prepare the ingredients first. Here are the ingredients:
