Left Overs Pie

ingredients £0.48 for the suet pastry

I term I heard used yesterday on the television and something I have done since I started cooking for a family over 25 years ago and generations of my family and others did before that. If there is no left over gravy there are two ways round this. either make an onion gravy or make a white sauce.

2-4 oz per person Left over meat cut into bite sized pieces

6 oz per person Left over vegetables cut into bites sized pieces

Left over gravy/onion gravy/white sauce to cover

6oz suet pastry

Method

1. Preheat an oven to 200°C. If needed make the onion gravy or white sauce.

2. Place the left over meat and vegetables in a pan and cook for around five minutes to enable the vegetables to begin to heat through thoroughly. Then place into a deep pie dish with the gravy or white sauce.

3. Make suet pastry as per recipe. Roll out to fit the top of the pie dish, place on top and trim. Brush with a little milk and bake in the oven for 40 minutes until the crust is cooked and the filling piping hot.
