What is the recipe and method of preparing Nigerian meat pie?

Answer 1

Well I got my recipe from this site

http://www.motherlandnigeria.com/recipes.HTML

THE DOUGH:

6 cups flour

4 eggs

1 tablespoon salt

½ pound of butter

1¼ cups water

1 egg yolk

THE MEAT MIXTURE:

16 oz (2 cups or .5 liter) of ground meat

2 medium-sized potatoes

Any other desired vegetables.

Spices

Water

THE DOUGH:

1. Combine the flour, butter, eggs, water and salt together.
2. Knead the dough.
3. Cover the dough and let it rest for 3 hours.

THE MEAT MIXTURE:

1. Dice the potatoes into little cubes (about .5 inch or 1 centimeter length).
2. Place the potatoes, meat, very little water, and any other vegetables and spices into a small saucepan, and cook until the meat is done. You can taste the mixture to see if it is adequate.

PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Roll out some dough...it should not be too thick.
3. Cut the dough into a circle (use a tool if you want to).
4. For each 'circle', add a few teaspoons of the mixture in the middle of the circle, then fold the circle over, and use a fork to press the ends together.
5. Repeat the above steps until you are out of dough, or mixture.
6. Brush the exterior of all the meat pies with egg yolk.
7. Place the meat pies on a sheet with a little space in between each one, and bake until slightly brown (sorry, I don't remember exactly how long...next time I'll record that).
