Australian ingredients?

Question

Would anyone happen to know any typically Australian ingredients or recipes, preferably for a pie? It doesn't really matter how it is Australian, whether export-wise or history-wise.

Answer 1

Looks like I have come to the right place! I am a 16 year old Australian girl :)

Firstly, what you have to understand is that many people think we live in some sort of desert, ahah. Where I live, it's honestly just like America. Our food is EXACTLY the same and everything.

BUT, typically aussie ingredients/recipies:

- VEGEMITE!!!

- Pie

- Lamingtons

- Bangers and Mash (Sausages & Mashed Potato)

And so here is the secret recipe for a genuine, fair dinkum, true blue Australian meat pie.

Filling:

750g (1 ½ lb) round steak cut into 1 cm cubes (or minced)

375 ml (1 ½ cups / 12 fl oz) water

1 beef stock cube

Salt and pepper to taste

1 onion sliced very thinly

2 tablespoons plain flour

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Pie base:

250g (2 cups 8 oz) plain flour

pinch salt

60 g (2 oz) beef dripping

160 ml ) 2/3 cup / 5 fl oz water

extra flour

Topping:

Commercial puff pastry

Extra flour

Egg yolk mixed with a little milk, to glaze

Tomato sauce, to serve

To prepare the filling: Combine all ingredients in a pan and stir until boiling. Cover, allow to simmer, stirring occasionally for one hour. Cool thoroughly before using.

To prepare the base: Sift flour and salt into a bowl, combine dripping and water together into a pan, stir over heat until dripping melts. Stir into flour until combined. Turn out onto a floured sheet of paper, knead slightly until smooth. Roll out and line base and sides of 8 greased 10 cm X 10cm  (4 in X 4 in) pie tins.

Fill tins with meat mixture.

To prepare topping, preheat oven to moderate 180 C (375 F).

Roll puff pastry onto a floured sheet . Cut a circle to fit tops of pie. Wet edge of pastry base with egg and milk mixture and press pie tops into place. Trim edges and press to join. Brush with egg and milk and make a small hole in the centre of pie to allow steam to escape.

Bake for 15 – 20 minutes until pies are golden brown.

Serve with tomato sauce

Serves 8

NOTE: Mince steak may be substituted for round steak for this recipe. Use 750 g (1 ½ lb) mince and one cup of water. Combine with other ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes or microwave on HIGH for 10-15 minutes

Puff Pastry may be used for top and bottom if desired. You can vary this recipe with a touch of garlic, oregano, nutmeg,, coriander and soy sauce
