- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 60 min
- Makes: 1 serving (203 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Dairy-free
- Contains: beef, gluten, pork
Ingredients
- 45 g Pie crust, unbaked
- 60 g Pork, ground, raw
- 30 g Beef, ground, 80% lean, raw
- 30 g Potatoes, raw
- 15 g Onions, raw
- 2 g Garlic, raw
- 0.2 g Cinnamon
- 0.1 g Cloves
- 0.1 g Allspice
- 0.4 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 20 g Water
Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply by 8 for a whole pie. Cook the ground pork and beef with the onion and garlic in a pot for 8-10 minutes, breaking up any lumps, until no longer pink and cooked through.
- Stir in the potato, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, salt, pepper, and the water; simmer, covered, for 15-20 minutes until the potato is tender and the mixture is thick, not wet.
- Let the filling cool slightly, then spoon it into a pastry-lined pie dish, scaled to a full batch.
- Cover with the remaining pastry, seal and crimp the edges, and cut a few slits to vent.
- Bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 15 minutes, then reduce to 180 °C (350 °F) and bake 30-35 minutes more until deeply golden.
- Rest 10 minutes before slicing so the filling sets.
