Method
- First prepare the filling. Heat the rapeseed oil in a frying pan and add the lamb. Cook over a medium heat until the mince is well browned. Set aside.
- Lower the heat, add the onion, and cook gently for 10 mins until it is softened and translucent. Add the garlic, cinnamon and cumin and cook for a further two minutes. Add the carrots and pine nuts, and return the lamb mince to the pan. Cook for five minutes, stirring constantly, then remove into a bowl and leave to cool.
- Preheat the oven to Gas 7/220°C/425°F. When the filling is completely cold, unroll the pastry and cut out 4 inch rounds. Place a spoonful of filling onto each round. Brush beaten egg around the outside of each round, then fold in half and crimp the edges. Place the pasties on a baking sheet, and glaze the top carefully with the remaining beaten egg.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 20-25 mins, until the pasties are golden brown. Mix together the yoghurt and tomato ketchup and serve alongside the pasties as a dipping sauce.
