Savoury goat pies filled with tender Australian goat meat, onion, shallots, mushrooms, tomatoes, red wine, thyme, and kalamata olives, all encased in buttery puff pastry. A mouthwatering and satisfying dish that will make your taste buds dance!
1 ½ pounds Australian goat meat, cubed
1 tablespoon plain flour
1 small onion, chopped
10 shallots, peeled
8 ounces button mushrooms, halved
2 tomatoes, seeded and roughly chopped
½ cup red wine
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
Salt and cracked black pepper
12 kalamata olives, seeded
Puff pastry sheets
Coat the meat in flour and brown it in a small amount of oil in batches. Remove the meat from the pan and set it aside.
Add a little more oil to the same pan and cook the onion and shallots until they are softened. Add the mushrooms and fry for an additional 5 minutes before adding the tomatoes, red wine, thyme, salt and pepper. Cover the pan and cook for 45 minutes. Add the olives in the final 5 minutes of cooking. Set the mixture aside to cool.
Divide the pie mixture between four 1-cup capacity ramekins. Top with rounds of pastry, trimming the edges. Cut a slit in the top of each and glaze with an egg wash.
Bake the pies at 400°F for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed. Allow the pies to stand for 5 minutes before serving.
