pie!

pie!
This is not *the* pie, but it is a similar pie that we made.

We had a slow cooked joint of beef for our Christmas lunch this year, and while it was very nice, we’d had a couple of cold meals from it, and were a bit bored with it. So we made A Pie.

I sautéd diced carrot, onion and courgette, and then added some mushrooms and cooked it all down. Then a splash of red wine, some garlic powder, some Bisto granules (or Aldi equivalent), and some mixed herbs. Diced up the beef, bunged it in the pan, and let it all simmer for about half an hour.

We used ready made puff pastry (I know, I know), which Pete rolled out because I’m useless at it, no idea why.  It was very nice, and did us for a couple of days’ worth of meals. Never underestimate pie!
