Ingredients
For the Pastry
- 325 g plain flour 2 ⅝ cups
- 125 g melted butter ½ cup
- 45 g natural yoghurt ¼ cup
- 65 ml milk ⅓ cup
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoon baking powder (10 grams)
- ½ teaspoon salt (3 grams)
For the Meat Filling
- 300 g beef mince
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 Turkish chillies or 1 green bell pepper (approximately 70 grams) (sliced)
- 1 large tomato (approximately 200 grams) (chopped)
- 2 tablespoon parsley (chopped)
- ⅔ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 egg yolk (for eggwash)
Instructions
Preparing the Dough
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
- Add the melted butter, yogurt, milk, and egg to the dry ingredients and mix until you form a soft dough.
- Knead the dough for a minute until it feels soft and smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it cool in the fridge for half an hour and start preparing the mince filling.
Preparing the Meat Filling
- Place a pan on medium heat and brown the mince, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to break the mince down into small pieces.
- When the mince is browned, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sauté the onions. (Skip the olive oil if the mince released enough fat to sauté the onions).
- Add peppers and saute for another minute before adding the tomatoes.
- Cook for a few minutes then add the parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Give it a good stir and remove the pan from the heat.
- Let the filling cool down while lining the pastry.
Assembling and Cooking the Pie
- Preheat the oven to 180° C (360° F).
- Take the pastry out of the fridge and divide it into ⅔ and ⅓.
- Use the larger section ( the ⅔ ) of the pastry to line your 23 cm (9") Ø springform cake tin.
- Roll the pastry out to the size of 30 cm (12") dia and line the bottom and sides of your cake pan.
- Spoon the meat filling in the pastry and fold the excess pastry onto the filling.
- Divide the rest of the pastry into 7 pieces and roll them into strips to decorate the top of the pie.
- Eggwash the pastry with egg yolk and sprinkle on some nigella seeds.
- Cook in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.

Notes
- Let the mince and onion pie filling cooled down entirely before assembling the pie to avoid the pastry melting.
- Always start with browning the mince before adding the other ingredients. The mince will release its fat and you might not need to add oil to brown your onions or sautée your vegetables depending on how much fat the mince contains.
- Don't worry if your pie doesn't look like a piece of art, this is a rustic pie and it still will taste delicious.
- You can prepare the ground beef filling and the pastry a couple of days in advance.
