- Prepare the Dough: Start by making the dough for the crust. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually pour in the boiling water while stirring continuously with a spoon or spatula. This helps the dough come together more easily. Add the vegetable oil and stir until the mixture forms a dough. Once it is cool enough to handle, knead the dough for about 5 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and set it aside while you prepare the filling and vegetable layer.
- Prepare the Meat Filling: Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a little vegetable oil. Season the chicken and turkey thighs with salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Brown the meat on all sides for about 8-10 minutes, then remove from the pan and set it aside to cool. Once cooled, chop the meat into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the Potatoes: In the same pan, add a little more oil and cook the chopped onion until it becomes soft and translucent. Add the cubed potatoes, season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and paprika, and stir occasionally. Cook the potatoes for about 10 minutes, or until they begin to soften but are not fully cooked through. Add the chopped chicken and turkey back into the pan, stirring to combine. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Prepare the Vegetable Layer: In another pan, heat some vegetable oil and sauté the onions until golden. Add the grated carrots and sliced bell pepper to the pan. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables soften and become fragrant. Season with a little salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Pie: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Take the dough and divide it into two portions—one slightly larger than the other. Roll out the larger portion on a lightly floured surface to form the bottom crust of the pie. Line a pie dish with this dough, making sure it covers the sides as well.
- Layer the Filling: Start by placing the meat and potato mixture into the pie crust. Spread the sautéed vegetables on top, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and color.
- Cover and Seal the Pie: Roll out the remaining dough to form the top crust of the pie. Place the top crust over the filling and pinch the edges to seal it. Use a sharp knife to make small slits in the top to allow steam to escape while baking. Brush the top of the pie with a little water or egg wash for a golden, crispy finish.
- Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is hot and bubbling. Let the pie cool for a few minutes before serving.
