Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan-forced. • Thinly slice leek and onion. Grate the carrot.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the carrot.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5-6 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium. Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and a splash of water and mix well. Cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook leek and carrot until tender, 3-4 minutes. • Add beef mince and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes. Drain any excess oil from the pan.
• Add All-American spice blend (see ingredients), tomato paste and garlic paste and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add the water and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat and stir through baby spinach leaves and caramelised onion.
• Transfer beef filling to a baking dish. • Lightly scrunch each sheet of filo pastry and place on top of beef filling to completely cover. • Gently brush or spray pastry with olive oil. Bake pie until pastry is golden, 20-25 minutes.
• Divide All-American beef mince and caramelised onion filo pie between plates. Enjoy!
