- Preparation: 270 min
- Cooking: 65 min
- Makes: 1 serving (335 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: beef, celery, gelatin, gluten, pork, poultry
Ingredients
- 90 g Flour, all-purpose
- 25 g Lard
- 25 g Water
- 130 g Pork shoulder, raw
- 20 g Pork belly, raw
- 40 g Chicken stock, homemade
- 3 g Gelatin
- 1.5 g Salt
- 0.5 g Black pepper
- 0.3 g Sage, dried
Method
- Rub the lard into the flour and a little of the salt, then mix in just-boiled water to a warm, pliable dough; while still warm, mould two-thirds of it up the sides of a small pie mould to form a case, keeping the rest for a lid.
- Mix the diced pork shoulder and belly with the pepper, sage and remaining salt.
- Pack the pork filling tightly into the pastry case, dampen the rim, top with the lid, and pinch to seal; cut a small hole in the centre.
- Bake at 220°C (425°F) for 20 minutes, then reduce to 160°C (325°F) and bake a further 45 minutes until the pastry is deep golden and the meat is cooked through (74°C/165°F).
- Warm the stock, dissolve the gelatin into it, and pour through the hole in the lid once the pie has cooled a little; chill until fully set.
- Serve cold, cut into wedges, with pickle or mustard.
