Description

The recipe will not take much time. These pies are best baked in small round tins, but large ones are used as well. Puff pastry is best bought ready-made, while shortcrust pastry is easy to make at home. Traditionally the pies are served with tomato or mint sauce alongside cream of green pea soup. They can also be served with tea or coffee.

    Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and line the molds with it, pressing it into the bottom and up the sides; trim off the excess. I used aluminum molds 8 by 12 centimeters; I got three of them.

    Spread the meat filling into the molds, filling them right to the top.
