Equipment

1 Deep-sided frying pan with lid
1 Oven Proof Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Red Onions (Finely Chopped)
  • 750 g Pork Minced (I used 15% fat content)
  • 4 Rashers of Smoked Bacon (Chopped)
  • 1 Carrot (Chopped into small cubes)
  • 2 tbsp Sundried Tomato Paste (or whiz up sundried tomatoes from a jar)
  • 2 tbsp Corn Flour
  • 400 ml Chicken Stock
  • 1 Celery Stick (Finely chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • Salt and Pepper (to season)

Shortcrust Pastry

  • 500 g Plain Flour
  • 250 g Butter (Chopped into cubes)
  • 6 tbsp Cold Water
  • 1 Egg (Beaten)

Instructions
 

  • Fry the onions and bacon until the onions are soft and the bacon cooked.
  • Add the pork mince and cooked until brown, chopping up any clumps along the way. Add some black pepper and the chilli powder whilst cooking.
  • Add the corn flour and mix through for 1 minute, then add the chicken stock. Add the chopped celery, carrots and sundried tomato paste and mix together. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes with the lid on.
  • Meanwhile, make the pastry and preheat the oven to 200°c/190°c Fan.
  • Put the flour in a bowl, add the chopped butter and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the water and combine until it forms a dough. Roll out onto a floured surface about 1cm thick and place the oven proof-dish on top and cut around it. Brush the top of the pastry with the beaten egg.
  • Add the mixture to the dish and place the pastry on top. Make 2 slits in the middle of the pastry with a knife, so steam can get through whilst cooking. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables. Enjoy!
