One of the gifts we received for our wedding was the Custom 14 Cuisinart food processor. SOOOO Pretty! It has a 14 cup capacity in a stainless steel robe. Oh...the places we will go!http://www.cuisinart.com/products/food_processors/dfp-14bcn.html
And this is what I made with her...
CORNISH PASTIES
When my husband and I were on our Honeymoon, we fell in love with savory pies. Cornish Pasties is one of the most common of the savory pies. Their history is connected with the mine workers in Cornwall. Their wives would make them hand held pastries with meat, onions, and a root vegetable (potatoes, carrots, and/or parsnips usually). They had a thick crust/rim so that they could hold them with their dusty hands and not touch the part that they planned on eating.
The pastry is a very simple butter and flour crust and my new food processor was the perfect tool to try them with.

There are a lot of recipes for this savory pastry dough, but the ingredients are all the same - flour, butter, salt and ice water.

The filling recipes range from ground lamb to cubed meat with the veg and starch. I went with finely chopped chuck steak, carrots, onion and potatoes. Best mix, I think!

I downloaded the free Christmas excerpt for the Unofficial Harry Potter Cookbook. The first recipe was for Cornish Pasties. I can't wait to try the recipes I've found in 3 other cookbooks I own: How to be a Domestic Goddess by Nigella Lawson, The Tea & Sympathy Cookbook, and the William Sonoma London cookbook.
