beef

🥗Healthier: chicken

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken is leaner, while pork is often less expensive.

shortcrust pastry

🥗Healthier: whole wheat pastry

💰Cheaper: store-bought pastry

Whole wheat adds fiber, while store-bought saves time.

Add 250 grams of plain flour and 2 teaspoons of salt into a bowl.

Add 250 grams of stock margarine, cut into small pieces, to the bowl.

Rub the margarine into the flour and salt with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs, leaving some lumps for flakiness.

Continue rubbing for about 5 minutes until the mixture is well combined but still has some lumps.

Add just under 500 mls of cold water to the mixture.

Use a round-bladed knife to mix the water into the flour mixture until combined.

Transfer the dough onto a large piece of cling film and wrap it up.

Chill the wrapped pastry in the fridge for at least 1 hour before using.
