Roasting

My Mum's Meat envelope... a yummy way to use leftover roast

 

Ingredients:

Remainders of roast joint - minced or finely chopped

1 onion chopped

Leftover gravy

(Optional leftover veggies chopped or minced)

1 tbsp Worcester Sauce (more if you wish)

1 pack puff pastry

Salt and pepper

 

Soften the chopped onion, stir in the meat, worcester sauce. Season and then add a little gravy to make a soft, but not wet, mix.

(Optionally add chopped/minced leftover cooked veggies too, but don't make too much mixture!)

 

Preheat oven to 200C, 190 fan, Gas 6

Roll out the pastry into a square.

Put the square of pastry on a baking sheet before assembling the envelope!

Put the meat mix in the middle.

Fold in the corners of the pastry like an envelope, using a little water, milk or egg as glue to seal the edges.

Make a couple of holes in the top with a knife and brush with egg or milk to glaze.

Bung in oven for 20-30 minutes until pastry is cooked and golden.

 

Serve with any leftover gravy.... you might need to make more gravy

@Sagima, I stand corrected.. My wife has just told me that if you leave it in the Slow Cooker on high for a while (she didn't say how long unfortunately) then the skin will crispen!

Until it's done of course!

 

It's impossible when people ask me for timings and temperatures... I just do it; I don't think about it. Mrs Gatt is probably the same

Indeed! She is good at that..

 

I on the other hand would either incinerate it or give everyone a hefty dose of E. Coli!

Slow cooking curries is one of the best things to do, use cheaper meat then.

 

Biggest problem I find with the slow cooker (a problem Christmas day use to give me at home), is when you can smell the food when you were wake up or just get home from work, you are immediately hungry but it invariably not time to eat is yet!

Nom Nom!

We do curries and chilli in it too - best way to stop the meat going tough and chewy!

Yep - biggest problem of all - hunger!
