Meat pie

Based on Meat pie, this has been tuned to be a bit quicker and should produce less washing up! A big thanks to Gemini for this one.

Ingredients for 2

  • A medium sized potato, diced.
  • An onion, diced.
  • A medium sized carrot, diced.
  • A glove of garlic, diced.
  • 250ml appropriate gravy - chicken for white meat and beef for dark meat.
    I use just 5ml of gravy powder. Or a home made stock.
  • Taste contrast (sweetcorn for chicken, bay leaf for beef - what do you like?).
  • A big portion of meat for one person eating a roast.
  • Half a pre-rolled puff pastry sheet. **

Directions

  1. Microwave Vegetables:
    1. Place the diced potatoes, onions, and carrots in a microwave-safe dish with 2 tablespoons of water.
    2. Cover and microwave at 1000W for 4 minutes until they are tender.
  2. Add the rest of the filling:
    1. Add Meat and Gravy: Stir the cooked meat into the vegetables, pour in the gravy, and return to the microwave for 2 minutes at 1000W just to get the gravy boiling.
  3. Cook the pastry:
    1. Assemble and Crisp: Transfer the hot filling to your pie dish, top with pastry, and use the Combination Mode (Fan 180°C + Microwave 300W/simmer) for 13 minutes to brown the pastry. Shelf position two works really well for this.
