Mutton pie with potato pastry
Ingredients
- 1.5kg diced lamb (shoulder or leg)
- 2 tbs plain flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 2 tbs olive oil
- 25g unsalted butter
- 4 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 200ml red wine
- 300ml lamb or beef stock
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs of thyme
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Potato pastry
- 200g self-raising flour
- 150g chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 200g mashed potato, cooled
Instructions
- Step 1:
- Preheat the oven to 160°C.
- Step 2:
- Toss lamb in flour. Heat half the oil in a large ovenproof casserole over high heat. Brown lamb in batches, set aside. Turn heat to medium, add remaining oil and the butter to pan, then add onions and cook for 5 minutes or until soft. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, then return meat to pan with wine, stock and herbs. Season with salt and pepper, bring to boil, then cover and place in oven for 1½ hours until meat is tender. Cool, then transfer to a 1.5-litre pie dish.
- Step 3:
- Meanwhile, make pastry. Sift flour into a large bowl with a good pinch of salt.
- Step 4:
- Rub in butter with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add potato and bring together using your hands until a smooth ball forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 5:
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Roll out pastry on a floured board until slightly larger than the pie dish. Cut a 1cm-wide strip from around outside edge of pastry, then press it around rim of the dish. Brush pastry rim with water, then cover pie with remaining pastry. Trim excess and use to decorate. Make 2 slits in top, brush with egg and bake for 30 minutes or until golden. Serve with neeps & tatties and roast parsnips, leeks, apples & bacon (see related recipes).
