Mince Dumpling Pie

Some ingredients are harder than others to be creative with. Like mince. Especially if you are tired, not the in mood for cooking, or simply don’t have enough ingredients to play with. (Those end of the month days… you know, the ones that comes after the fourth of the month..?)

This was one of those days. And what turned out was not all what I had in mind, but it was delicious!

The coconut oil can be substituted with butter, olive oil or normal sunflower oil.

And I used the same pot for the frying and the baking – man, I love my cast iron pots! So if you have a pot you can use for the frying as well as the baking, that is your best bet, as it makes the dishes less, too.

Preparation time: 10min

Cooking time:  1 hour

Difficulty Level: Easy

Serves: 6

Ingredients:

500g mince

2tbs coconut oil

1 onion, chopped

250g mushroom, sliced (1 punnet)

150g salami, diced (optional)

2tbs soya sauce

2t spice for mince

1t steak & chops spice

¼ cup mayonnaise

* Dumplingdough

Method:

Melt the coconut oil and fry the onion until soft. 

Add the mushrooms and salami and fry until starting to brown.

Remove the mixture from the pot. Add the mince.  Loosen the mince so that there isn’t any chunks.
Add the soya sauce, spice for mince and steak & chops spice and mix well. Simmer until done.

 Add the onion mixture back to pot and mix well with mince. 

Add the mayonnaise and mix through. 

Add the dumpling dough and mix through.

Scoop into an ovenproof dish and bake in the oven at 160°C for about 30 – 40 minutes, until nicely browned on top, and pulling away from the sides.

Serve warm with a salad, and enjoy!!
