BOLA DE CARNE - PORTUGUESE MEAT PIE



Bola De Carne - Portuguese Meat Pie image

This recipe comes from the book of Traditional Portugese Cooking, which I bought in Lisbon. I have not tried this recipe but am posting it by request. Sorry for the vagueness of the recipe but it's all the information I have! Cooking and serving times are an estimation.

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups milk, room temperature
1 tablespoon baker yeast
500 g flour
2 teaspoons salt
125 g margarine, melted
5 eggs
700 g pork or 700 g beef, cooked and cut into pieces
100 g sausage, cooked and chopped
100 g smoked ham
1 egg yolk

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.

INDONESIAN MEAT BALLS (SEMUR DAGING BOLA) image

Categories     Beef     Kid-Friendly

Yield 30 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 10

some ground beef (about 250 gr)
pearl onion/shallot (about 5 cloves, if not available, substitute with onion, obviously not 5, but about 2 tbsp for the meat, 2 tbsp for the soup afterwards)
garlic (about 3 cloves for the meat, 2 cloves for the soup afterwards)
salt (to taste)
pepper
vegetable oil (about 2 tbsp)
1 whole fresh tomato
ground corriander (1 tsp)
sweet soy sauce/kecap manis (to taste, approximately 3 tbsp - mollases can be use for substitute)
beef broth (5 cups)

Steps:

  • How to make: 1. Season beef with ground pearl onion, garlic and salt and then ball the ground beef, size depends on however you wish, but for this one I like them to be large, I have big thumbs, so about 2/3 of the thumb is the diameter) 2. Boil the balled beef until the meat is cooked. Set aside the water used for boiling the meat for the broth 3. Ground together some pearl onion, garlic, coriander, and salt, stir fry it in the vegetable oil together with some coarsely chopped tomato 5. Put in the boiled balled beef stir fry together with the spices 6. Add the beef broth to the mix, bring everything to a boil, put in the kecap manis*. I like to add a half cube of beef consome to the mix just to ensure perfection in taste. 7. Let it simmer for 15 minutes. *Unlike other recipes, for this you REALLY need to have the kecap manis. This is one of the dish where this particular sauce cannot be substituted. In desperate alternative, you can use mollases.
