Enjoy a slice of Ballarat this August with the return of Ballarat’s Best Pie competition.
Take your pick from more than 35 savoury and sweet pies at some of the city’s top cafes, restaurants and bakeries.
On the menu at Hop Temple is the goat barbacoa pie with jalapeño, lime and cilantro relish and sidewinder fries.
"We were looking to use an unusual protein source and decided that goat was a little less used by many yet still easily approachable for people, while also being easily tied into our TexMex food ethos," chef Claudio Torrentera said.
"We have sourced the goat from our local butcher, Sinclair Meats, minimizing food miles. And all the vegetables used in the pie are also from a local supplier, Peaches Fruit Market."
Vote and win!
For your chance to win a luxury Ballarat weekend escape for two valued at over $3000, cast your vote for the People’s Choice Pie.
The pie with the most votes will be crowned the winner of this new category in early September.
"Goat is a protein that many people may not have considered eating before."
