Bola De Carne Portuguese Meat Pie Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dilute the yeast with the milk.
• In another bowl, mix the flour, salt and melted margarine.
• Now add this to the diluted yeast, slowly so as not to make any lumps.
• Knead all together.
• Continue kneading as you add the whole eggs, one by one.
• Allow the dough to leaven in a warm place for 2 hours.
• Divide the dough into three parts.
• Roll out each part and cover the bottom of a greased baking tin with one of the parts.
• Cover that with half of the meat.
• Add another piece of pastry and again cover with meat.
• Finish with the last piece of pastry.
• Put in the oven for a short while.
• The book says it should only go in the oven "to give it some consistence".
• Remove and brush the top with the egg-yolk.
• Place it again in a medium hot oven to bake.

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients except the optional ones in a bowl and mix well.
• On a sheet of aluminum foil, spread out the meat mixture (you're going to roll it in a second).
• Lay out in the middle your shredded carrots, peppers, and hard-boiled eggs.
• Roll the meat up, joining the ends and the seam so it looks like a log. The foil will help you. Use the foil to keep it closed for cooking.
• Cook at 350 for 45 mins to an hour. At 40 mins, open the foil a bit to check.
