Meat pie

A meat pie is a pastry-baked dish consisting of a meat filling, often combined with other savory ingredients, enclosed in pastry. Rather than one fixed recipe, it is a broad category found across many cuisines, prepared by baking, frying or deep-frying to brown the crust and develop flavor, with many versions using butter-enriched pastry for a flaky texture. Regional forms include the hand-sized Australian and New Zealand meat pie, Nigerian meat pies, Latin American empanadas, Middle Eastern sfiha, Greek kreatopita, Indian samosas and Turkmen ishlekli, among many others.
