Cornish Pasties

 

Can they be called Cornish if they are made in London? Who cares!

Peel and dice potato, swede and turnip (one or the other is fine if you can't get both) and cook in salted water until par cooked - I diced mine quiet small so this only takes a few minutes - drain and leave to cool.

Finely slice a beef steak - it doesn't have to be an expensive cut, in fact a cheaper cut such as frying or rump works better, and fry in a little oil - again it doesnt have to be cooked right through, put into a bowl to rest.

In the same pan add beef stock and reduce down until its a thick syrup, add any resting juices from the beef and scatter in finely chopped thyme - leave to cool.

Mix all the cooled ingredients together in a bowl and season with salt and a good grind of pepper.

Roll out puff pastry and cut into circles.

Place the filling into the centre and fold the pastry over and then crimp the edges to seal.

Brush with beaten egg yolk and bake until the pastry is cooked.
