How to make Irish Hand Pie?
·
In a bowl, whisk 1 cup whole wheat flour and 1
cup refine flour with salt and ½ cup coconut oil. Drizzle the ice-cold water
into the flour, a little at a time, while mixing with a fork, until the dough
comes together.
·
Pat the dough into a disc, wrap tightly with
cling wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
·
Heat oil and cook garlic, potatoes followed by
the cabbage. Cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently.
·
Add herbs, tomato paste, apple cider vinegar and
tamari/soy sauce.
·
Add 3/4 cup of water and cook until the potatoes
are tender.
·
Add the paneer or boiled beans and stir well to
mix. Make sure all of the water in the mixture has evaporated.
·
Roll out the dough into a small chapatti of
1/8th of an inch thickness.
·
Place about 2 heaping tablespoons of filling in
the centre of a round. Place a second round on top and pinch the edges
together. You can use Karanji mould as well.
·
Repeat for remaining pies. Place all the pies on
a foil-lined baking sheet.
·
Bake the hand pies in the lowest rack of the
oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
