Make a pastie with left over roast lamb

[paperwhite]

Quantities do not matter here,
The size of the dice is "pea sized".
finely dice the followng:
left over roast lamb
a potato
a carrot
a parsnip
some peas
an onion
salt and ground pepper
mix it all up in a bowl, add an egg to bind it a little.
wrap in puff pastry ( I use a pie maker but you can just do triangles if you like
bake 1 hour at 180 C
Eat with tomato sauce.

sounds good..I think I might do a larger dice on the lamb though. Thanks!

That looks good, could I use it for one of the cookery classes I teach at high school?

You know Miniman, if you do use this recipe for your cookery class, it might be interesting to break your class into groups and get each group to try the same filling in different types of pastry - short crust, puff, filo - and get them to compare the end results, cooking times, taste, how dry the filling becomes with the different coverings. Just a suggestion.

Thanks paperwhite - when recipes are put in these kinds of terms (quantities do not matter, cut everything in pea size) it really emphasizes how easy cooking really can be.

I make a chicken pot pie and the thing I emphasize the most is cut everything the same size, chicken included. Since peas are in there that's the "measurement" I also use.
