Pork & Chicken Pie with Glazedcranberries

COOKING TIME: 1 HOUR 30

YOU WILL NEED:

† 300g plain flour

† 1 tsp salt

† 65g Trex

† 150ml water

† 350g skinless chicken

breast, cut into small cubes † 350g pork fillet, cut into

small cubes

† 225g pork sausage meat

† 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

† 1 tsp chopped fresh thyme † ½ tsp ground allspice

† Salt and pepper

† 150ml chicken stock

† 1 sachet powdered gelatine

FOR THE TOPPINGS:

† 150g redcurrant jelly † 225g fresh or frozen

cranberries

HOW TO:

1 Sift the flour and salt into a large mixing bowl and make a well in the middle. Put the Trex and water into a saucepan. Heat gently until the Trex has melted, then bring to the boil. Pour into the well and beat with a wooden spoon to form a soft dough. When cool, knead lightly until smooth. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.

2 Mix together the chicken, pork, sausagemeat, rosemary, thyme and allspice. Season well.

3 Preheat the oven to 220°C. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use it to line the base and sides of a 20cm loose-based cake tin, then pack in the filling. Trim the excess pastry to 1cm above the meat, then cover the surface with foil. Stand the tin on a baking sheet.

4 Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for a further hour and 30 minutes. Let the pie cool completely.

5 Heat the stock until almost boiling, then sprinkle in the gelatine, stirring until dissolved. Remove the foil from the pie and pour the stock over and around the filling (you might not need it all). Chill overnight, to set.

6 For the topping, melt the redcurrant jelly in a saucepan and add the cranberries. Heat gently for two to three minutes, then spoon the mixture on top of the pie and leave until cold.
