Curried Cornish Pasties image

My husband is part Welsh, and to celebrate the wonderful, God-given man in my life, I thought I would try my hand at these. I like to get a rough idea of how it's done, and run, run, run with it! We loved it; you will too! Mwynhewch eich bwyd! (Bon Appetit!)

PASTRY

2 tablespoon(s) grainy mustard
1/2 cup(s) red wine
1 cup(s) shortening
FILLING
1 pound(s) lamb or beef, cubed
1 - fennel bulb (with top included), diced
1 - rutabaga, diced
2 - parsnips, diced
2 - carrots, diced
2 - sweet potatoes, diced
1 - beet, diced
1 cup(s) green peas, mashed or pureed
1/2 stick(s) butter
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin
2 tablespoon(s) garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon(s) herbes de provence
1 teaspoon(s) celery salt
3 tablespoon(s) worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon(s) honey
3 tablespoon(s) curry
1 1/2 cup(s) cream
1 cup(s) sour cream
1/2 cup(s) wine
TOPPING
- milk
- kosher salt

Steps:

  • Place all filling ingredients, save milk and tartar, in a skillet. Cook on high for 3 minutes, then reduced to medium low.
  • Stir in milk and tartar. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes.
  • To start pastry, mix all ingredients, save shortening and butter, in a mixing bowl. Mix well, then rub in shortening.
  • When totally mixed, form 8-10 balls. Place in freezer while filling continues to cook.
  • When ready, roll balls into circles, and on half the side, add filling. Moisten rim with liquid from pan, and seal with a fork. Repeat until all is done.
  • Or you can do a standing fold which cups more liquid. See photo. I do it this way.
  • Cut a couple of tiny slits in each pasty , and optionally but recommended, paint outside with milk. Sprinkle with kosher salt.
  • Bake at 400° for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350° and bake 20-30 minutes longer or until golden brown.
