Savoury pie ideas please

Our pies are veg (often leftover) in a cheese sauce or a pastie pie. That's the same as our cheese and onion pasties - diced potato, onion, carrot and grated cheese. Not much variety, I guess!

Spinach and ricotta - mmmmmmmm
tin of mixed beans in tomato sauce(drained) with mozzarella - yummy

cheat!!!!

Buy a can of Campbells chicken and white wine soup, mix with some chopped chicken and add a splosh of milk.

I won't go back to making white sauce for chicken pies since I tasted this.

Leftover roast dinner makes a very nice pie - fry off a chopped onion and add diced, cooked chicken, leftover stuffing, leftover veg. Cook for a couple of minutes and then add leftover gravy. If you haven't got anything left over except the cooked chicken, then just add frozen peas straight from the freezer to the chicken and onion mix, crumble an oxo cube over the top and add a bit of water - reduce down until you have a thickish sauce. If you don't like gravy then use a white or cheese sauce instead. This also works well with any ham you may have lurking in the fridge.
This would work with any sort of leftover roast, or, if you're a veggie, then cheese and onion or cheese and broccoli (or cheese and any mixed veg really) work very well.
You can also make a very nice pie by frying a few sliced leeks, adding in some chopped bacon and topping with a cheese sauce - yum (yes, I know, not veggie).
Or you could fry a couple of onions in some butter, add a small head of chopped celery, 4oz chopped walnuts, 4 chopped dried apricots, one and a half cups of fresh breadcrumbs (you need to judge how moist or dry you want the mixture to be) and a handful of chopped parsley. Give the resultant mix a quick zhoozh in the food processor to amalgamate it a bit and chop up the celery into a sort of coarse pate. This mixture can be cooked in the oven as is to make a sort of meatloaf without the meat (I use it as a fabby stuffing for turkey, but we always end up eating it on its own), or you can moisten it with a little gravy made with Marigold veg stock and use it as a pie filling.
Happy pie making - I'm quite hungry now!

Yes, soup is a great pie filler - I mean the Campbells condensed sort, of course. Asparagus, for example - just add some chicken leftovers for chick and asp pie* - go and have a look, see what flavours are stocked locally to you and think what you can add to them to make delicious fillings.

*Just to warn you, I didn't like the last one of these I made because to my HORROR they have started adding msg to their asparagus soup. Yuk yuk yuk - so check the ingredients if, like me, you are allergic to msg. They do make other soups which are free from the horrid stuff!
