Preparation steps
Step 1
Begin by preparing: thoroughly clean the lamb of sinews, fat, and membranes, then rinse and pat dry with paper towels. Peel the onion and sift the flour. Prepare a baking dish and a blender so that everything is at hand.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Whisk the egg with a fork in a separate bowl. Brush the surface of the pie with the egg mixture using a silicone brush. Place the pie in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.
Step 3
Dissolve the remaining salt in a glass of water. Remove the pie from the oven and carefully pour the brine through the hole in the center. Add it in small portions, allowing the liquid to soak into the filling. Bake the pie for another 10 minutes. Then, remove it from the oven, cover it with a towel, and let the pastry rest for 15 minutes to make it even juicier.
Step 4
Remove the pie from the pan only after it has cooled slightly. Cut into individual servings and serve, garnished with fresh cherry tomatoes and fragrant basil. Enjoy your meal!
For dough:
Step 1
Finely chop the lamb fat and transfer it to a blender bowl. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and the flour. Blend everything until it forms fine crumbs.
Step 2
Transfer the flour mixture into a deep bowl. Add sour cream and knead the dough. Then, pour in the vegetable oil and continue kneading until a smooth consistency is achieved. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow it to rest.
Step 3
Divide the dough into two parts, one of which should be slightly larger than the other. Roll out the larger portion on a floured surface and carefully place it into the baking dish.
Step 4
Roll out the smaller portion of dough and use it to cover the filling. Carefully pinch together the edges of the two crusts to seal the filling inside. Create a small vent in the center of the pie to allow steam to escape freely during baking.
For filling:
Step 1
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. Finely chop the meat and dice the onion into small cubes. Combine the meat with the onion, add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and your favorite spices. Mix thoroughly.
Step 2
Evenly spread the meat filling over the dough.
Enjoy your meal!
