About African meat pie

African Meat Pie is a savory pastry popular in various African cuisines, including Nigerian and Ghanaian cooking. It consists of a flaky, golden-brown crust filled with a seasoned mixture of ground meat, typically beef or chicken, combined with onions, carrots, green peppers, and spices to create a flavorful and aromatic filling. The dough is usually made from a blend of flour, margarine, and water, resulting in a buttery texture. This handheld snack is rich in protein from the meat and provides essential vitamins from the vegetable filling. However, it can be high in calories and saturated fats due to the pastry and cooking methods, particularly if fried instead of baked. While African Meat Pie is a satisfying and hearty treat, moderation is key to balancing its indulgent qualities with your overall nutritional goals, especially if part of a high-energy meal.
