A Nigerian meat pie is a popular savory pastry filled with a spiced mixture of minced meat (often beef), potatoes, and carrots, seasoned with onions, pepper, and spices. The filling is encased in a flaky, golden shortcrust pastry, shaped into a half-moon or rectangle, and baked until crisp. Commonly enjoyed as a snack or appetizer, Nigerian meat pies are a staple at parties, street food stalls, and homes, loved for their portable, flavorful, and satisfying nature.
