Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onions and minced garlic, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground pork and beef to the skillet, cooking until browned and fully cooked, approximately 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in the diced potatoes, thyme, rosemary, sage, allspice, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, then pour in the chicken broth. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
- Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to a mixing bowl.
- Roll out the prepared pie crust on a floured surface, then lay it into the pie dish. Add the meat filling, smoothing it out evenly.
- Roll out a second crust to cover the pie, sealing the edges by crimping with your fingers or a fork. Cut a few slits on top for ventilation.
- Brush the top with the beaten egg for a beautiful golden crust.
- Place the pie in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and fully cooked.
- While the pie is baking, toss the seasonal vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking tray. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
- Once baked, let the pie rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving with the roasted vegetables alongside.
