Golden Mini Irish Lamb Pies with Rich Herb Gravy and Buttery Flaky Pastry Crust

Golden Mini Irish Lamb Pies with Rich Herb Gravy and Buttery Flaky Pastry Crust

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 8 mini pies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, finely diced
  • 1 celery stalk, finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 3/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts or puff pastry sheets
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or mini pie molds.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrot, and celery, cooking for 4–5 minutes until softened. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add ground lamb and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat if needed.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to coat evenly.
  5. Pour in beef broth and simmer for 5–7 minutes until the filling thickens into a rich gravy. Stir in peas and remove from heat to cool slightly.
  6. Roll out pie crust or puff pastry and cut circles large enough to line muffin cups. Press pastry into each cavity.
  7. Fill each pastry shell with the lamb mixture. Cut smaller circles for the tops and seal edges with a fork or pinch decoratively.
  8. Brush tops generously with beaten egg and melted butter for a golden finish. Cut a small slit in the center of each pie.
  9. Bake for 22–25 minutes until deeply golden and flaky. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
