It’s good to have an herb garden in a backyard.
When you need a little bit of herbs you can snitch a tip of herbs in a garden instead of buying a bunch from a store.
It would also entertain you with ideas of playing with the herbs in a kitchen.
I amended the soil a lot because my backyard has heavy clay soils.
There are so many things you can do with cilantro and I decided to incorporate it into Cornish pasties.
Here’s my Cornish pasties with Asian twist:
6 oz ground pork
Half onion, chopped
Cilantro, chopped
Garlic, grated
1 tsp oyster sauce
Half tsp sugar
Salt
Shortcrust pastry dough
Mix all ingredients except the dough in a bowl.

Roll out shortcrust pastry dough and cut with a big cookie cutter.
Place the filling in the center of the each dough and fold in half.
Heat the oven to 350°F and bake them for 40 minutes

Delicious! With this small size pie, I can enjoy the combination of the flakiness of the pastry and juiciness of the filling in one bite.
I kept it low in salt so l can really taste umami flavor of meat with a hint of cilantro which was good with round acidity and fruitiness of this light bodied sparkling wine.
