PASTRY
3/4 c  Butter, unsalted; cold
6 tb Shortening; chilled
3 c  Flour, bread
1/2 ts Salt
1/3 c  ;Water, ice (about)

–MEAT FILLING–
3 Lamb kidneys
1/2 lb Steak, fat free
2 md Potato
1 md Onion
1 lg Carrot
1 Garlic clove
2 tb Parsley; chopped (opt)
3/4 ts Salt
1/4 ts Nutmeg
1/4 ts Pepper, black
1 lg Egg; beaten

Cut fat into the flour with a pastry blender or 2 knives or an electric
mixer until the mixture is blended and forms lumps the size of peas. Rub
mixture between your fingers until you have a fine grained texture. Add
just enough ice water to make it stick together and quickly knead it into a
smooth and shiny ball. Speed is important. Cover and refrigerate for 60
minutes before rolling out. Halve the kidneys and remove film and fatty
core. Dice the kidneys and steak very fine. Peel and chop the vegetables
equally as fine. Mix well in a bowl with parsley and spices. Preheat the
oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out the unsweetened pastry to a thickness of
1/8 inch and cut into 3-inch rounds with a cookie cutter. Put a spoonful of
the meat mixture in the center of the rounds. Paint the edges lightly with
water. Cover with the remaining rounds, pinching the edges together very
firmly. Prick well with a fork. Place on a baking sheet and paint with
the egg. Bake 30 minutes.
