How to Make a Festive Pie | Nisbets



A delicious use for Christmas leftovers or served as an alternative entrée to tempt diners looking for a new taste of turkey this season. A kitchen staple that’s easy as pie.

INGREDIENTS
200g onion
300g plain flour
Cranberries
30g butter
150g vegetarian suet
Poppy seeds
2 chicken stock cubes
10 tbsp milk
Charred sprouts
1 egg
Chestnuts
3g dried sage
200g baked ham
250g turkey, dice
d200g sausage meat
100g apricots
75g dried cranberries
100g chestnuts, chopped
700ml double cream

WHAT STEPS DO I FOLLOW?
1. First, make the pastry. Combine the flour and suet in a food processor, adding a teaspoon of salt. Blitz until there are no suet lumps, then gradually add the milk and pulse until the pastry comes together. Wrap in clingfilm and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

2. Dice the onion and gently fry in a little butter until soft. Add diced turkey and cook without colour. Add the sausage meat and the ham and stir occasionally, breaking up the sausage meat. Add the apricots, chestnuts, cranberries, sage, cream and stock. Stir occasionally and cook until the cream thickens. Set aside while you prepare the pastry.

3. Roll out ¾ of the pastry onto a lightly floured surface, then use a pastry cutter to cut a circular pie lid. You can also use a stencil to create a festive design for the top of the pies.

4. Divide the remainder of the pastry into four equal parts. Roll out enough pastry to fill your pie dishes. As a reference, the pastry should have the thickness of a £1 coin. Blind bake for 20 minutes at 180°C, then remove from the oven, but the keep the temperature at 180.

5. Spoon the mixture into each open pie. Brush the rim of each dish with egg wash and seal with the previously cut lids. Brush each lid with the egg wash to ensure an even, golden-brown bake. Bake for 30 minutes.

6. Remove your pies from the oven and decorate your plates. Prop your charred sprouts and chestnuts against the pie and scatter with poppy seeds.
