Party Pies (Healthy)

[Slice of Health]

These are my healthy twist on the Aussie Meat pie (snack sized / party pies), with a cauliflower cheese topping which includes some extra veg and reduces the pastry.

INGREDIENTS

Pie Filling:

    15g (handful) parsley
    2 cloves garlic
    70g tomato paste
    20g butter
    100g button mushrooms, halved
    500g rump steak, cubed
    ½ tsp pepper
    70g bacon
    1 tbsp seeded mustard
    ½ tsp dried oregano
