Emu Pie
Main meal dish with individual
emu pies with pepper berrie sauce
Serves 2
Degree of difficulty: Medium
Preparation time: 40 minutes
Cooking time: 20 minutes
You need:
1/2 kilo of
emu rump
2 teaspoons of avocado oil (macadamia or olive if unavailable)
handful of pepper berries
2 onions
1 1/2 cups of red wine
1 cubed/skinned egg plant
2 cubed/peeled sweet yam (the
orange ones)
2 cups of beef stock - leave a little for sauce.
brussel sprouts
cauliflower
carrots
young green beans
packet of puff pastry or shortcrust pastry - (unless you want to make it yourself)
Blue gum honey
Meat Mixture.
method
Place the the cubed
emu rump, cubed and skinned eggplant and sweet yam in a large pot.
Pour in 2 cups of beef stock and cup of red wine.
Throw is about 3 - 4 pepper berries (not to many as they are hugely flavoursom)
Leave to stew for about 30 mins stirring every 10 mins so the mixture doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
The eggplant breaks down and creates a fair amount of water. the mixture will reduce considerably.
So add about 2 tablespoons of flour and a tablespoon of butter and thicken the sauce - enough for pies.
The Pie Making
Make pastries squares roughly 15cm square.
Make smaller squares and place in the middle of larger squares to strenghten the pastry where the meat sits.
Add about a 2 heaped tablespoons of meat in the centre.
Pull up the sides of the pastry to make a parcel - and pinch in the middle.
place in a moderate oven for rough 15 - 20 mins
The Sauce
1 sliced onion
sprinkle in more pepper berries
splash of wine
splash in beef stock
2 tablespoons of blue gum honey
Cook sauce until it reduces a little
Pour over pies once the pies are cooked.
