🎃 Halloween Chorizo Pies

Pumpkin faces, flaky layers, spicy hearts.
Cheesy, meaty pockets that grin back from the tray.
Savoury show-stoppers for your haunted spread.

Prep Time: 1 hr | Cook Time: 30 mins | Servings: 8 patties

Ingredients

500 gm Maida 2 tsp Salt 170 gm Unsalted Butter ½ cup Chilled Water 2 Eggs 1 tsp Lemon Juice 250 gm Ground Chorizo 250 gm Minced Chicken 1 tsp Paprika 1 small Onion 3 cloves of Garlic ½ tsp Cayenne Pepper 8 Mozzarella Cheese Slices 2 tsp Room Temperature Water

Method

In a bowl, mix together ¼ cup chilled water, 1 egg, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Add to flour, salt, and butter; gently combine with a fork until flour is absorbed. Knead on a lightly floured surface just until it comes together. Wrap and chill for 1 hour. Heat a pan, sauté finely chopped onion until soft. Add minced garlic. Stir in ground chorizo, minced chicken, paprika, and cayenne; cook 15–20 mins. Cool completely. Preheat the oven to 190 °C and line a tray with parchment. Roll the dough to 3 mm thick; cut pumpkin shapes with a cutter. Carve spooky faces on half. On each plain pumpkin, place a mozzarella slice and a spoonful of filling. Moisten edges with water, top with a face-cut dough, press to seal; crimp with a fork. Beat the remaining egg with 2 tsp water for egg wash. Brush tops. Bake 20–30 mins until golden brown.
