Rustle up a little festive cheer with these recipes from Lewis & Clarke…
Christmas Leftovers Pie
INGREDIENTS
Christmas dinner leftovers
(for me, it’s chicken, parsnips, carrots, Brussels sprouts, pigs in blankets and gravy)
Ready-made puff pastry
(or shortcrust if you prefer)
1 egg
Cranberry sauce
- Preheat your oven to 180°C, gas mark 4/5
- Chop up vegetables and pigs in blankets into bite-size pieces, shred down your leftover turkey or chicken and mix together in a bowl.
- Pour in the cold gravy and mix. If you need extra gravy, just make a quick one and mix it in as well and allow to cool.
- Place your mixture into an appropriate pie dish or Pyrex dish and push down slightly.
- Using a teaspoon, add cranberry sauce on the mixture and spread to create a layer. (If you like a lot of cranberry, add more, but don’t add too much so it leaks out)
- Roll out the pastry and cut it to the appropriate size to cover your dish.
- Beat the egg in a cup, and using a pastry brush, egg wash the top of the dish, then add your pastry lid.
- Eggwash the whole pastry lid, then use a fork to crimp the edges of the pastry top.
- Then, using a sharp knife, pierce a hole in the centre to allow any steam to escape.
- Place the pie in the middle of the oven and cook for 30-40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and the inside is hot.
- Serve with buttery mashed potatoes and extra veggies if you want. Delicious!
