Leftover Moroccan Meat Pie Food

LEFTOVER MOROCCAN MEAT PIE

Steps:

• Put sweet potato into a saucepan with enough water to cover completely; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until just tender, about 15 minutes; drain.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine water, onion, and garlic in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook at a simmer until onion softens, about 5 minutes.
• Stir gravy mix, cumin, cinnamon, curry powder, ginger, black pepper, turmeric, and salt into the water; add leftover pot roast, sweet potatoes, peas, and corn. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 5 minutes; pour into the frozen pie crust. Sprinkle feta cheese over the filling.
• Bake in preheated oven until crust is golden brown around edges, about 25 minutes.

SPICED BEEF PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, onions and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the beef, sprinkle it with the cumin, cinnamon, Aleppo pepper, allspice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few turns of black pepper and cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon or spatula, until it is fully cooked and no longer pink, 8 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
• Soak the matzo in warm water for a few minutes until it has softened. Line the bottom and sides of the prepared cake pan with the matzo pieces, breaking it up as needed and packing it down firmly. It will look a little rustic which is ok. Use a paper towel to blot away excess moisture once the matzo is in the pan, then pour in the beef mixture and pack it down firmly. Cover the top with soaked matzo, pressing the edges to seal, and then brush it with a healthy coating of egg wash. Bake until browned, about 30 minutes.
• Let cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto a plate. Top with parsley or micro greens and serve.

MEXICAN MEAT PIE

Steps:

• Brown meat with onion and pepper.
• Add tomatoes, salt and pepper.
• Arrange in a 9x13 dish, one layer of tortillas, meat, beans, and cheese.
• Repeat layers.
• Top with soup.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes until bubbly.

MOROCCAN-SPICED TURKEY PIE

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick pan over a medium heat and toast the coriander and cumin seeds for 1-2 mins until fragrant. Add the cinnamon, olive oil, aubergine and shallots. Coat the veg in the spices and cook on a medium-low heat for about 10 mins until the aubergine has softened slightly.
• Add the harissa and peppers. Give everything a good stir, then add the tomatoes and crumble over the stock cube. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 mins until the veg is tender and the mixture is nice and thick.
• Stir through the turkey meat and season well. Set aside to cool.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and grease a 23cm springform tin with a little butter. Lay two sheets of filo over the base of the tin and brush with the melted butter. Cross over another two layers of filo and brush again with butter. Repeat once more, then put the cooled filling in the centre. Using the remaining four pastry sheets, cover the filling and brush with more melted butter. Scrunch the top of the pie together and bake for 30-35 mins.
• Remove from the oven and scatter the pie with the flaked almonds. Cook for a final 10 mins until the pie is golden and piping hot. Serve straight away.
