Hi
I don't have a recipe as such but wondered if you could use Pete's recipe for samosa's and use mincemeat as the filling? Thought I might give it a go this weekend, if you used 1tbsp of mincemeat per filo piece they would be 3 syns each, 1/2 tbsp would make them 2 syns each.

Hello Pete, I would like to make your Chicken Peanut Curry for a few people over Christmas. Can you advise me as to whether you double/treble everything in multiple batch cooking. i.e. double spices? Is it OK also to use uncooked chicken and cook in a slow cooker?
 
Ok so I have been experimenting a little bit today...
I had a pack of smash in the cupboard so I made 3 pizzas

This time I just mixed the smash with water to make the dough, rolled it out, cut around a bowl and started to bake it on grease proof paper. after 10mins I brushed it with egg, baked for a few more minutes then flipped it and brushed the other side and baked for a few more minutes.
This made it slightly more crisp than usual and stopped the topping from making it go soggy. It makes it easier to handle too!

I let 2 cool down, while I put tomato purée, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and my healthy extra cheese on top of the 3rd and baked for a few more minutes until the cheese melted.
I then topped the 2 that had cooled down but instead of baking them I popped them in the freezer (uncovered, until the cheese became harder, then cling filmed them)

So I now have 2 free pizzas already made in the freezer, ill let you know how they turn out when I use them ...
 
Hi Sugerpuffjane.
How many people are you cooking for?
The recipe can be upsized to feed 8 by doubling the chicken, extra can of tomato, extra peanut butter 1tbsp per 2 people. I think the spice amount can stay the same, taste it to see and adjust to taste.
Good Luck.
Pete
 
Hi Sammie88.
Interesting way with the mash, you must let us know how it was when you cook it with the topping.
Pete.

Hi Sammie88.
Interesting way with the mash, you must let us know how it was when you cook it with the topping.
Pete.

Well because I brushed the base with egg it had a more crisp and solid texture rather than the soft doughy one and it was so easy to pick up; it wasn't flexible like the last time I made it
Because I baked it, it had an even golden colouring too

And I found that the first time I made it the base went soggy and potatoey under the topping but this one kept its texture

I got the idea from another thread so I can't take all the credit lol someone else has brushed it with egg before me and baked it rather than pan fried it
