About Nigerian meat pie

Nigerian Meat Pie is a savory pastry enjoyed across Nigeria and beyond, celebrated for its flaky crust and flavorful filling. This traditional dish is filled with a hearty mixture of minced meat, typically beef or chicken, diced potatoes, carrots, onions, and sometimes green peas, all seasoned with a blend of spices for a rich, aromatic taste. Wrapped in a buttery shortcrust pastry and baked to golden perfection, it’s a popular snack or appetizer in Nigerian cuisine. While the filling provides a good source of protein, vitamins, and fiber from the vegetables, the pastry can be calorie-dense due to its butter or margarine content. Moderation is key to enjoying this delicious treat as part of a balanced diet.
