Hunt the Meat Pie

[SportingShooter 0]

This is great for using up the leftovers from a roast, it can be venison, lamb, beef or pork either way it is delicious and fairly quick, the idea behind it as the name suggests is to hunt for the meat as with leftovers there is not usually a lot of it, it doesnt seem to work as well if you fill it with meat.Anyway, here's the recipe;

Ingredients;

1.Whatever cooked meat you have left over.

2.Plenty of thinly sliced potatoes about two per person/serving.

3.Thinly sliced onions about 1/4 per person/serving.

4.Meat stock, about 1 pint for four servings or enough to just cover the filling.

5.Suet, it can be done with lard, butter or any other fat i suppose but it is best with suet.

6.Lump teaspoon of mint sauce.

7.A little oil and butter for frying and obviously salt and black pepper.

 

Method.

1.Heat oven to 170'C

2.Slice the potatoes thinly about 3 or 4 mm, slice onions very thinly.Keep behind the larger slices as they will go on top.

3.Put a knob of butter and a little olive oil in a large, deep saucepan and melt.

4.Add the potatoes,except the larger slices, onions and leftover meat into the pan.Season with salt and black pepper.

5.Brown very slightly allowing all of the contents to be coated.

6.Place the contents into a large,shallow dish.

7.Bring the stock to the boil, or add boiling water to stock cube, and add the teaspoon of mint and stir.

8.Pour the boiling stock over the contents so that it barely covers the contents,make more if necessary.

9.Place the larger slices on top of the contents in a overlapping pattern so that they cover the top completely.

10.Sprinkle the suet over the top of the potatoes in a fairly dense pattern, but not too much as the potatoes will become greasy.

11.Bake covered in foil for around 45mins, remove the foil for the last 15 mins, bake until the potatoes on top are really crispy and brown.Serve hot with peas and other veg that takes your fancy.

 

I hope you enjoy, those of you who try it, it is a lot like lancashire hot pot but there are no carrots or other veg in it.

It is delicious though and this recipe is designed for four servings, but be warned they are generous portions and eyes are often bigger than bellies. A good thing is it can be adapted for however many people you are cooking for very easily.
