- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 95 min
- Makes: 1 serving (400 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: beef, celery, egg, gluten, meat
Ingredients
- 150 g Lamb shoulder, boned
- 75 g Cooking apples (such as Bramley)
- 60 g Onions, thinly sliced
- 3 g Soft brown sugar
- 0.3 g Ground allspice
- 0.1 g Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 g Salt
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 50 g Lamb or beef stock
- 55 g Shortcrust pastry
- 6 g Egg, beaten, to glaze
Method
- Makes 4 servings in a 1.2 litre pie dish; the amounts are for one serving, so multiply every ingredient by 4. Heat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Trim the lamb of excess fat and cut it into 3 cm pieces, and peel, core and slice the apples.
- Mix the sugar, allspice, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Layer the lamb, apples and onions in the dish, sprinkling each layer with the spice mixture and finishing with a layer of apple.
- Pour in the stock; it should come about halfway up the filling.
- Roll out the pastry a little larger than the dish, dampen the rim, lay the pastry over and press it down to seal; trim, crimp, cut a steam hole in the middle and brush with beaten egg.
- Bake for 20 minutes until the pastry starts to colour, then cover it loosely with foil, lower the oven to 160 °C (325 °F) and bake for 1¼ hours more, until a skewer pushed through the hole meets tender lamb. Rest for 10 minutes before serving.
