Ingredients
Method
1.Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add mince to pan and stir to cook, until well-coloured.
2.Reduce heat and add onion, garlic, carrot, leek and celery to the pan. Cook over a gentle heat for 15 minutes, or until the leek is tender.
3.Increase heat, pour over the wine and allow to bubble and reduce by half. Stir through thyme, tomato paste and mustard, pour in the stock, then season with salt and pepper.
4.Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add kumara to pan for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
5.While mince is cooking knead together the butter and flour until you get a smooth but not sticky dough. Drop little balls of mixture into the mince and allow to gently dissolve before stirring. The sauce should be smooth and glossy.
6.Set mixture aside to cool.
7.Preheat oven to 180°C fan bake.
8.Line 5 x 300ml capacity pie dishes with pastry. Spoon filling into the dishes and then cover with a pastry lid, pressing to seal. Pierce the top with a knife to allow steam to escape, then brush with the egg.
9.Bake for 25 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden.
