Keto meat pie
INGREDIENTS
Meat filling
½ (2 oz.) yellow onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
1¼ lbs ground beef or ground turkey
2 tbsp dried oregano or dried basil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp ground black pepper
3 tbsp tomato paste
½ cup water
Pie crust
¾ cup (3 oz.) almond flour
¼ cup (1¼ oz.) sesame seeds
¼ cup (¾ oz.) coconut flour
1 tbsp ground psyllium husk powder
1 tsp baking powder
1 pinch salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1 large egg
¼ cup water
Topping
1 cup (7½ oz.) cottage cheese
1 cup (4 oz.) cheddar cheese, shredded
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Heat the butter or olive oil in a large frying pan, over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for a few minutes until tender. Add the garlic, ground beef, oregano or basil, salt, and pepper. Use a spatula to break the meat into smaller pieces, while mixing together. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until no longer pink.
Add the tomato paste, water, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, prepare the pie crust.
Pie crust
Mix the crust ingredients together using a food processor, or with a fork.
Place a round piece of parchment paper in a well-greased, 9-10" (23-25 cm) springform pan, or deep-dish pie pan. Using a spatula or well-greased fingers, evenly press the dough onto the base and the sides of the pan. Prick the base and sides of the crust with a fork, to prevent bubbling.
Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and place the meat mixture in the crust.
In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese and shredded cheese. Spread on top of the pie.
Bake on the lower rack for 30-40 minutes, or until golden in color.
