cornish pasties

December 9th, 2008

You possibly will not believe you can lose weight while on a diet which includes cornish pasties but it is obtainable. It is fundamental to not eat cornish pasties or other high calorie beef/pork/lamb/veal every day but in moderation.

As an example, I allow myself moderately high calorie food one meal per week. I eat a calorie controlled diet for 6 days of the week, say 1500 to 2000 calories per day, and then 1 day, I eat what I please – within moderation of course.

I have been eating like this for the last 4 weeks and it has helped me to lose 5 kilos. I have not changed my exercise regime or taken any pills or diet aids. I have just been aware of what I eat on most days and then eat whatever I want one day per week.

I also feel it helps to have professional support when on a weight loss program and for that I signed up with the Biggest Loser club. They have numerous tools to enable you to monitor your progress and attain your goals.

Cornish Pasties

Originally from Wales, Scotland and England, these pasties were popular with the miners in the copper mining regions of Arizona.

3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup lard
1/3 cup water (approximately)
4 medium potatoes, pared
2 medium onions, sliced
1 pound beef round (no fat or gristle)
Butter, salt and pepper

Make pastry from flour, salt, lard and cold water, being careful not to make it too moist. It should hold together well enough to leave the sides of the bowl as mixed. Divide into four sections. Roll each out as for pie, 3 inch thick, keeping as round as possible. Place on one-half a circle a layer of thinly-sliced potatoes and onions. Cover with beef, cut in medium pieces. Top with butter, salt and pepper to taste. If desired, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Fold unfilled half of crust over filling and seal by pinching with fingers or pressing tines of fork to make a half-moon. Cut a small hole in the center of each. Bake about 30 minutes at 400 degrees F.
