Everyone likes pie, especially the English on the green isle. There are many different kinds of filling and lid, and my pie is of course with mushrooms, but also with a meat filling that gives it substance.
Wild ingredients
Instructions
- Filling: Cut the meat into 2 x 2 cm cubes, and fry it in a little butter in a pot. Remove the meat when it is well browned, and set aside.
- Now dice celery, onion, and carrot finely, and brown everything well in the same pot you used for the meat.
- Add funnel chanterelles, and let them fry along for a bit at the end.
- Put the meat back in the pot, and now add peeled tomatoes, red wine, and water.
- Add leaves from thyme, sage, and oregano sprigs, salt and pepper.
- Let it all simmer for 3 hours with a lid over low heat. Keep an eye on the filling so it doesn't dry out, and add more water if necessary.
- Dough: Meanwhile, make a shortcrust pastry of flour, butter, and a little water. Let the dough rest in the fridge for one hour.
- When the meat is tender, pour the pie filling into four small ramekins.
- Roll out the dough, then cut out four lids, which you place on top of the filling in the ramekins.
- Bake the small pies at 180 degrees for 30 minutes, and make sure the dough grips the edges better than mine did.
