Traditional Northern Irish Pasty

Submitted by Yellow Lab Lover

"Serving and prep times are guesses as i have not made these yet. Source: KIETO'S DAILY RECIPE 3/10/04 The Irish version pasty (and this is particularly a Northern Irish delicacy) is round and flat, about 3/4 inch thick and consists of meat, potato and onion dipped in batter and fried. The English pasty, on the other hand, is a kind of meat and vegetable pie in a pastry crust. A "pasty supper" would include chips with the aforementioned pasty. We're going to do it the Irish way. Let's do it!"

I lived in Belfast most of my life, live in Canada now and this is very close to a real pastie which we cannot buy here. I pan fried in olive oil and used vegetarian substitute meat but still tasted great. I think more spices next time and more parsley would get it even closer.

I made this in school in grade 12 using this recipe and got 98% on it, so thank you!

This is not how you make Belfast Pasties. Where you got this from I don't know.
