Chazzer's pork pie surprise!

[charleyboy]

Went to the market yesterday, bought some pig fat and pork shoulder...

How to make a pork pie:

450 gm plain flour.
1 egg yolk.
175 gm lard.
100 ml milk.
Pinch of salt.



Flour, pinch of salt and egg yolk into a large mixing bowl.
Heat the milk and lard in a pan, low heat at first then bring rapidly to the boil.
Pour over flour and egg yolk, bring together with a wooden spoon.
Kneed for about five minutes, place in clingfilm and rest for about 20 minutes.


About 900 gm pork shoulder (bacon optional)



Cut into small pieces or blitz in a blender.



Construct the pies, egg wash and place in the fridge for about 15 minutes to rest.

Pre-heat the oven to 200 c.

Place in oven and cook for 20 minutes and then turn temp down to 180 c, cook for a further 40-50 minutes or until golden brown.




Now, here's the surprise...






Later on today, I will add some gelatine (if there's any left!)

Ah, the famous Quail eggs!!

Where's the jelly stuff?

[misskit]

Chaz should rename his dish to something more descriptive, like eye of the tiger pie.

[Bettyboo]

That'd be a truly great pie if you'd used a proper egg. Chicken.

[kingwilly]

Exactly, too much meat not enough egg.

[charleyboy]

Patsy and Misskit, thank you.
Betty and Willie...GTF!

I have to say them pies look great. Coming from a vegetarian that's a 10/10

(well,99% veggie)

[Necron99]

Rare pink pork?

Not in this country. Pastry looks the deal though.

[patsycat]

Or he could make little itty bite size pies.

[Kurgen]

For some on this forum they are much less than a mouth full.

[kingwilly]

But great recipie. Cheers.

[charleyboy]

Seeing as Necron is not a purveyor of pork pies...

The pork is pink because I cured it!

[wasabi]

The jelly stuff is made from pigs trotters, Melton Mowbury pies do any way.

[Kurgen]

The pork is pink because I cured it!

Why, what did it have?

[grasshopper]

Swine fever? Porcine appearance?

[Chittychangchang]

Addicted to Melton Mowbray pork pies at the moment, nice with a dollop of mustard.





Not in to all this egg in the middle mallarky.
