with Apple & Balsamic Salad
This cosy dinner packs in a veggie-loaded beef base that's full of flavour, then tops off the whole dish with a light and flakey filo pastry. Be sure to serve it fresh from the oven for an optimally crisp pastry! *The recent wet and cold weather across New Zealand has impacted our regular supply of fresh ingredients and as such, what you receive may be slightly different to what’s pictured. Don’t worry, your recipe will be just as delicious!*

• Preheat oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced. • Finely chop celery. Grate the carrot. Finely chop garlic. Pick and finely chop rosemary. Little cooks: Help pick the rosemary from the stems!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook celery and carrot, stirring, until softened, 4-6 minutes. • Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 3-4 minutes. • Add garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then add tomato paste, the water and beef-style stock powder and cook, stirring, until reduced, 1-2 minutes. Season to taste. TIP: Add a dash more water if the mince is dry!
• Transfer beef mixture to a baking dish, then sprinkle over grated Parmesan cheese. Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling the cheese on top. Careful, the filling is hot!
• Add the butter to a small heatproof bowl and microwave in 10 second bursts until melted. • Brush each sheet of the filo pastry with the melted butter. Lightly scrunch each sheet of pastry and place on top of beef mixture to completely cover. • Bake pie until the pastry is golden, 15-20 minutes.
• While the pie is baking, thinly slice apple. • In a medium bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, apple and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide cheesy beef and filo pastry pie between plates. Serve with apple and balsamic salad. Enjoy!
