600 g Lean beef; minced
1/2 c Instant oats
1 Beef stock cube; crumbled
3 Shallots; chop fine
1 ts Mixed herbs
1 cl Garlic; crushed
2 ts Soy sauce
4 Eggs; hard boiled
2 sl Puff pastry
1 Eggs; lightly beaten
Preheat the oven to 220 C. Combine the mince, oats, stock cube,
shallots, herbs, garlic & soy. Divide into 4 portions. Place an
egg into the centre of each mince portion & mould the meat around
the egg.
Cur each sheet of pastry into 2. Place an egg/meat portion into
the centre of each. Fold the ends of the pastry over the meat.
Brush the joins with the egg, & with a sharp knife, make 3
incisions on top of each pastry parcel. Glaze the complete parcel
with egg. Place the parcels on a greased oven tray & cook at
220 C for 10 minutes, then reduce to 180 C & cook 15 minutes.
