This article provides a detailed recipe on how to make Nigerian meat pies. It gives step-by-step instructions on the ingredients needed and the cooking process to create these delicious snacks. Nigerian meat pies are a popular street food in Nigeria and are filled with a savory meat and vegetable filling, encased in a flaky pastry crust.

To make Nigerian meat pies, the article recommends starting by preparing the filling. The filling consists of ground beef or minced meat, onions, garlic, bell peppers, carrots, and potatoes. These vegetables are finely chopped and cooked with the meat until they are tender.

Various spices such as thyme, curry powder, and bouillon cubes are added to enhance the flavor of the filling. Once cooked, the filling is set aside to cool.

Next, the article explains how to prepare the pastry dough for the meat pies. The dough is made by combining flour, baking powder, salt, and cold butter in a mixing bowl. Using your fingers, the butter is rubbed into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs. Cold water is gradually added to form a soft dough. The dough is then divided into small portions and rolled out into circles.

After the dough circles have been rolled out, the article instructs on how to assemble the meat pies. A spoonful of the cooled meat filling is placed in the center of each dough circle. The edges of the dough are folded over the filling to create sealed pockets. The edges can be crimped using a fork to ensure the pies do not open during baking.
