Ham Field Pea Pot Pie Recipes

PEA & HAM POT PIE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Fry the soffrito mix in the oil until it softens and starts to turn golden, add the mushrooms and cook for a couple of mins. Add the peas and ham and cook until the peas are heated through. Stir in the cream and mustard, then turn off the heat. Season well and tip into a pie dish, ovenproof bowl or large shallow mug.
• Roll out the pastry using a little of the flour until it is larger than the top of your dish. Lightly score a criss-cross pattern into the pastry. Wet the rim of the dish with water and lift the pastry on top, pressing the pastry on to the edges of the dish.
• Cook for 20-25 mins or until the pastry is risen and golden.

HAM POT PIE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Using a little of the butter, grease either two 8 x 5 x 2- inche deep, individual pie tins or an 8 x 2-inch deep pie plate. Set aside.
• Bring a cup of water to the boil in a small saucepan, add the diced carrots and cook for 3 minutes to soften them. Strain and keep to one side.
• In a large saucepan, melt the butter and add the chopped onions and celery. Gently fry over medium heat and gently for 5 minutes to soften.
• Add the flour to the pan and stir well, cooking for 2 minutes, then slowly adding the milk a splash at a time. Stir well between each addition.
• Add the pinch of mace if using, and the salt and pepper. Stir until the sauce has thickened to the thickness of heavy cream. Add half of the beaten egg and stir well.
• Add the carrots and mixed vegetables to the sauce and stir, cooking for another 5 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and leave too cool. The sauce does not need to be cold, so 10 minutes should be long enough. Once cooled, add the parsley and the ham pieces.
• Pre heat the oven to 400 F. Lay the pastry on a lightly-floured work surface and cut two pieces to line the tins and two for the lids, or two circles to fit the pie plate.
• Line the base of your chosen serving dish with one piece of pastry and fill with the ham and vegetable sauce.
• Brush the edges of your dish with the beaten egg and lay the lid over. Press lightly, then crimp the edges with your fingers or the edge of a fork to seal the pie. Cut a small hole the size of a dime into the center of each pie and then brush the surface all over with the remaining beaten egg.
• Bake in the center of the heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until the pastry is golden and risen, and the sauce is bubbling. It may bubble through the hole, but don't worry, it adds to the character of the pie.

DEEP-DISH HAM PIE

Seal and flute edges; cut slits in the top. Bake at 425° for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
