500 g ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp dried sage
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp salt
200 ml chicken broth
2 tbsp olive oil
1 package (450 g) pie pastry (store-bought or homemade)
1 egg (for egg wash)
(for garnish) Fresh parsley, chopped optional
(for serving) Lemon wedges optional

Equipment

23 cm pie dish
Heatproof mixing bowl
Deep frying pan or pot
Chef's knife
Food processor or plastic bag & rolling pin (for biscuits)
pastry brush for egg wash

Method

In a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, sauté until softened (about 5 minutes).
Add ground pork and beef to the pan. Cook until browned, breaking meat apart with a spoon (about 10 minutes).
Stir in thyme, sage, nutmeg, pepper, and salt. Pour in the chicken broth and let simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Roll out half of the pie pastry to fit the pie dish. Fill it with the cooled meat mixture. Roll out the second half to create the top crust, pressing edges to seal.
Make a few slits in the top crust for steam to escape. Beat the egg and brush it over the crust for a golden finish.
Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
Allow the pie to rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
