Spicy Etc Healthy Pies

Traditional Mediterranean Beef Pie Filling

A classic, robust option featuring a rich, herbaceous Italian baseline.

  • The Ingredients: Premium Beef Mince, finely diced Brown Onion, Garlic (crushed), crushed canned Organic Tomatoes or tomato purée, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, dried Italian Herbs (Oregano, Basil, Thyme, Marjoram), a Bay Leaf, Cracked Black Pepper, salt.
  • The Method: Sauté the onion and crushed garlic in the olive oil until transparent. Add the beef mince, browning it thoroughly while breaking it into fine pieces. Pour in the organic tomatoes, Italian herbs, black pepper, salt, and the bay leaf. Simmer gently on the stove until the sauce thickens into a rich, savory gravy. (Discard the bay leaf before assembling the pie).

Clean Satay Chicken Pie Filling

This clean version uses pure peanut butter and coconut milk to create a rich sauce.

  • The Ingredients: Chicken Thigh Fillet (cut into small 1cm cubes), firm White Potato (cubed), Carrot (cubed), firm Green Peas, pure Organic Coconut Milk, pure 100% Peanut Butter, Macadamia Oil or Ghee, Ground Coriander, Turmeric, a pinch of Celtic salt.
  • The Method: Sauté the chicken cubes in your macadamia oil or ghee until golden. Stir in the ground coriander and turmeric briefly. Pour in the coconut milk and whisk in the peanut butter until it forms a smooth, rich satay sauce. Toss in your raw potato, carrot, and peas, and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the ingredients.

Rich Madras Beef & Veggie Pie Filling

A comforting option using a curry baseline with hearty root vegetables.

  • The Ingredients: Premium Beef Mince, finely diced Brown Onion, White Potato (cubed), Butternut Pumpkin (cubed), Green Beans (chopped), Ghee, Madras Curry Powder or a homemade curry blend, Ground Fennel Seed, a pinch of Celtic salt.
  • The Method: Sauté your diced onion in the ghee until entirely soft and translucent. Add the beef mince, browning it thoroughly. Stir in your curry blend, ground fennel seed, and salt, letting the spices toast in the meat oils. Remove from the heat and fold in your raw cubes of potato, pumpkin, and green beans.

Baking Guide

When preparing these recipes, assemble the fillings inside your choice of pastry shells. Bake the pies using a conventional setting at a higher initial temperature to crisp the crust, then lower the temperature for the remaining baking duration so the internal vegetable cubes reach a tender consistency.


Acid-Safe Pie Recipes

Acid-Safe Vegetarian "Cabbage & Root" Pie Filling 

A protective option featuring cabbage, which is traditionally valued in natural health and nutrition.

  • The Ingredients: Green Cabbage (shredded into fine, short ribbons), White Potato (cubed), Celery (finely diced), Carrot or Pumpkin (cubed), Sweetcorn or Parsnip cubes, Ghee, 1 or 2 Tsp of Macro Savoury Yeast Flakes to Replace Organic Vegeta, fresh grated Ginger (optional), a pinch of Herbamere or Celtic salt.
  • The Method: Sauté the finely diced celery and shredded green cabbage in your ghee until the cabbage collapses and turns soft. Stir in the Organic Vegeta, salt, and ginger. Remove from the heat and tumble in your raw cubes of potato, carrot/pumpkin, and sweetcorn/parsnip so they are well coated in the savory ghee.

Acid-Safe Moroccan Beef Pie Filling

This blend uses a custom spice mix and sumac for tang, bypassing tomatoes and chilli.

  • The Ingredients: Premium Beef Mince or Beef Chuck (cut into tiny 5mm hand-iced cubes), finely diced Brown Onion, finely diced Celery, finely cubed Red Capsicum, a Bay Leaf, Ghee, Homemade Acid-Safe Moroccan Spice Mix, Sumac, a pinch of Celtic salt.
  • The Method: Sauté the onion, capsicum, and celery in the ghee with the bay leaf until completely soft and sweet. Add the beef, breaking it down into fine crumbles, and stir in the Moroccan spices, sumac, and salt. Cook until the beef is browned. (Remove the bay leaf before filling your pastry case).
  • The Harmony Check: The bay leaf does not clash; its herbal, woodsy aroma bridges the cinnamon and cumin in the Moroccan blend.
