Directions
Bridies, My adaptation of another of Huey’s recipes He describes a Bridie as a South African pasty filled with spiced minced lamb well, kind of Minced lamb is what Americans call ground lamb As I don’t like my foods hot and spicy, when I make these I shall be omitting the sambel oelek (or any other chilli paste) and increasing the garlic They looked so delicious that I’m really looking forward to making these I’m also interested to learn from South Africans how well-known this dish is in South Africa and the degree to which this version has varied from the standard Bridie If you are planning to make this recipe, please check the NOTE below the directions about a problem I had in posting one ingredient For yield, I also tried to write, again unsuccessfully, 2 large or 4 small Bridies Whether you consider this recipe appropriate to serving 2 or 4 will, of course, depend on the appetites of the eaters, and whether the Bridies are being served with other side dishes or on their own!, Delicious!! used a bare amount of curry paste but otherwise followed directions and was quite pleased with results , Hi Bluemoondownunder!! I always read the new recipes that are posted each day When I read this I had to try it I was wanting to make something with ground lamb and there this was I didn’t have a leek and like you I don’t like my food too spicy hot, so no chili paste But otherwise followed the recipe exactly Delicious I actually haven’t made it into pasties yet, which I was wanting to do with the lamb But I got tired, so simply cooked up some lentils, served the lamb over the lentils with coriander, lemon juice and yogurt I had a smiles a mile wide My DH enjoyed it pretty well, but he isn’t really into sweet and savory spices mixed together I’m slowly training him He’s a midwest US meat and potato guy and he’s learning, because if he wants to eat he eats what I eat and I’m getting more adventuresome as time goes by Thank you for a lovely treat I think I’ll try to get the meat into those pasties tomorrow Judy in WA

Mix Together the Egg and Milk; Brush the Pastry Edges With the Egg Wash and Place a Mound of the Mince/Ground Lamb Mixture on One Side of Each Round, Being Careful not to Use Too Much So That the Filling Bursts Out Once the Pastry Is Sealed; Fold Over the Pastry, Press Down and Crimp the Edges With a Fork.

Brush the Pastries With the Egg/Milk Wash; Place the Pastries on 1-2 Lightly Oiled Baking Trays and Cook in the Oven Until Golden Brown. Remember All the Ingredients Are Cooked So You Are Only Needing to Cook and Brown the Pastry. I've Estimated 20 Minutes, but Cooking Times Will Vary With Different Ovens. |

Note: You Can Also Make and Fill Smaller Pastry Rounds Can Be Used, If You Prefer. in Posting the Ingredients, I Tried Posting Two Cans of Tomatoes - You May Only Need or Choose to Use the One Can but May Need the Second Can. I Tried Lots of Times and Lots of Different Wordings but Inexplicably - to Me Anyway - It Kept Failing to Post, So I Settled For the One Can. When Adding the Tomatoes and the Stock, You Can Vary the Ratio of the Two According to Your Taste Preferences. |
