“There Can Only Be One Mincemeat Pie” (Edit recipe)

For the Filling

1. Prepare the filling 24 hours ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge for all the flavors to harmoniously blend together. Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before you are ready to bake the pies.
2. Combine 2 lbs of 75% lean ground beef with heart, kidney, liver, 1 lb of ground turkey and 1 lb of ground chicken in a frying pan.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of tallow to the meat and brown in low heat.
4. After the meat is browned drain half of the juice.
5. Peel, core and dice the apples.
6. Add the diced apples to the frying pan, along with the figs and the raisins.
7. Simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
8. Add the pecan butter, the fig jam, 2 teaspoons of garam masala, the ground nutmeg and the 8 oz of bone broth to the frying pan.
9. Simmer for 30 minutes stirring occasionally.
10. Remove it from the stove top, let it cool and refrigerate for 24 hours. Take it out of the fridge 30 minutes before you are ready to bake the pies.

For the Crust

1. Sift the cassava flour into a mixing bowl.
2. Add salt and whisk the two together.
3. Add the warm water and the tallow and hand mix until the dough has a nice form, not too dry not too wet.

For the Pies

1. Take the meat filling out of the fridge 30 minutes before you are ready to bake the pies. Once it has come to room temperature, simmer it for about 15 minutes.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Butter the insides of 12 soufflé cups (6 oz).
4. Separate the dough into 12 balls.
5. Roll each ball in between two pieces of parchment paper until it is thin enough to fit inside a 6 oz soufflé cup. If you want to also add crust on the top make sure to save some. If you don’t, no worries, it ends up delicious either way!
6. Peel, slice and sauté a yellow or sweet onion with 1/2 tbsp tallow until it is golden brown.
7. Scoop the meat into each soufflé dish, top with onion and then add a dough lid if desired.
8. If you choose to use a dough lid, then brush it with beaten egg and place a couple of holes in it.
9. Bake for 35 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
10. Take the pies out of the oven, let them rest for 30 minutes and enjoy!!
