Nigerian meat pie
Pies
Meatpies are Nigeria's answer to Argentine Empanadas, kind of. The filling however transcends repulge and lends itself to being baked in a delicious double crust pie. The key to the uniqueness? 2 things: 1)curry powder, and not just any curry powder but an African blend thats quite different from and the various Indian spice blends. You could substitue Jamaican curry powder or Madras in this recipe and you can make the filling a couple of days ahead. 2) the green peppers - the lend a peculiar flavour to the filling! The filling also freezes beautifully so I never worry about having too much!
