This is a family recipe for Pasties. Although very time consuming, they are very good.

The last time I made these I was only about 12 years old (I was quite the industrious child) so I had to ask my mom about some stuff: First of all, all the vegetables are chopped/grated raw...they will cook inside the pastie. Secondly, my mom said that instead of chopping the meats, it is possible to grind them on a very coarse setting. If you grind it too much, your pastie wont have the right sort of feel to it. We used the coarsest setting on an old hand grinder (Im sure a food processor would work just spiffy). Thirdly, all the stuff for the filling gets mixed together before you fill the pastie. Use a large bowl because it makes a lot.

Difficulty : moderate. Precision
